What management said

Thank you, Colette. Yes, we do have a couple of questions, predominantly from Stephen Mayne. The first question is 3 parts to it. So if it suits you, I'll break it down into the 3 different sections. The first part of the question is, when did Flight Centre get constitutional approval to hold virtual shareholder meetings and please confirm that you'll persist with best practice hybrid AGMs going forward.

Thank you, Colette. Second part of the question. Also, when disclosing the poll outcome for the ASX, will you include the headcount data so we can see how many of your circa 90,000 shareholders voted for and against this related party transaction. You commendably did this at the last 2 AGMs, and it will be interesting to see if participation is again less than 1,000.

What analysts pressed on

Analysts expressed concerns regarding the long-term impact of divesting non-core assets and how this might affect overall growth. There were also questions about the management's commitment to transparency in future shareholder meetings and voting processes.
