The Chairman will allow a reasonable opportunity for members as a whole at the meeting to ask questions about or make comments on the reports.
Re-election of directors

g 2 Remuneration report
The Annual Report for the year to 30 June 2012 contains a remuneration report which sets out the remuneration policies applicable to the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements that were in place for the Company’s nonexecutive directors and senior executives for the 2012 financial year.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the meeting before members are asked to vote on resolution 2, to adopt the remuneration report.
The vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Company or its directors. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the remuneration practices and policies of the Company.
If 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the remuneration report at two consecutive AGMs, shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGMs on a resolution (a ‘spill resolution’) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s directors (other than a managing director) must stand for re-election.
Any undirected proxies held by the chairman of the meeting, other directors or other key management personnel or any of their closely related parties (as that term is defined in the Corporations Act 2001, which includes certain of their family members, dependents and companies they control) will not be voted in respect of Item 2 (Remuneration Report).

How to complete this Proxy Form
Appointment of proxy
If you wish to appoint the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy, mark the box with an ‘X’. If the individual or body corporate you wish to appoint as your proxy is someone other than the Chairman of the meeting please write the full name of that individual or body corporate. If you leave the section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chairman of the meeting will be your proxy. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.
Votes on items of business
You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the three boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.
Appointment of a second proxy
You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional proxy form may be obtained by telephoning the Company or you may copy this form.
To appoint a second proxy you must on each of the first proxy form and the second proxy form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of securities applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded. Both forms must be returned together in the same envelope.
