who will be defeated ... the ones the "minority" shareholders want removed ie Bryant & Rowley?

I seriously doubt it, however good bad or otherwise they are ....
the previous incumbent Hackett and his cohorts (or some may well say cronies) were best sent off in the direction of 'the knackery for old & worn out directors". and should never be rescued from there.
Self interest of the board seemed to be the order of the day when he was around. Oink Oink.

As as longterm shareholder, whose initial investment value has been destroyed, and has stayed there because there is little downside left, I felt it was "pointless to bail out, crystallise the capital losses and take the small amount of cash", but better stay there as they MIGHT turn things around and allow me to reduce the losses. They did not and will not get any of my hard earned in capital raisings.
Pity HC does not have a sentiment option of "Disillusioned" which would be more appropriate.
