Ann: Appointment of Joint Company Secretary-NOR.AX, page-29

Fair point, Disco. Speaking of Tassie, yours truly still holds Gunns, and using the scrip for wallpaper.

I'd have to say, though, that over many years punting the market, Perth stocks have cost me plenty.

It would be interesting to do a survey on $100,000 put into a basket of Perth-domiciled stocks fifty years ago versus $100,000 into a basket of stocks based in Melbourne or Sydney. Wesfarmers a star, Fortescue good if you bought at the right time, but a plethora of high-tech rubbish, biotech garbage and mining detritus channelling cash from hopeful investors into the pockets of spivs in Peppermint Grove.
