Activists using companies ‘as Trojan horses to push social agendas’ | Sky News Australia

Ms Albrechtsen revealed in The Australian on Friday a push to remove Harvey Norman CEO Katie Page from the board of the company and have her replaced by shareholder activist Stephen Mayne. Corporate advisory group Ownership Matters has advised its clients to vote against the re-election of Ms Page and instead support Mr Mayne, who has no corporate experience in retail or property. Ms Albrechtsen said such a move is “not in the interests of shareholders” and “not in the interests of innovation”.

“Companies should have enough latitude to try out different models of corporate governance to see what works,” she said. Ms Albrechtsen said the “silver lining” of this “dreadful saga” is that it has “completely blown the diversity agenda out of the water”. “If diversity now means getting rid of the most experienced person on the board, and in her place putting a man who has zero experience to be on the board of Harvey Norman … diversity has now lost any kind of credibility.

Of course it is okay for HarveyNorman, a major advertiser on Sky News Australia after Dark to push their social agenda. Rather hypocritical don't you think? cc slpng_giants_oz

So we should all have a fixed number of companies that we can purchase from and they can set the price as they wish. Seems a rational communist manifesto. Corporate Australia set this system up, now they have to live by it.

This is scary & a threat to the democratic process. They get up at shareholders meeting & demand on the basis of a few signatures that the company end membership of the BCA because BCA doesn’t believe in climate change. These activists threaten people to agree to their demands.

And why not

Janet needs a Bex & a good lie down.

Forgive me for not crying a tear.

Now its Bunnings..

Continuous brainwashing of the sheep and low IQ voters

This is Civil Society 2.0. Globalists create ‘leaderless’ activist groups to create chaos, while incrementally infiltrating organisations, institutions, corporations and governments to wield power. People need to choose between freedom and subjugation. It is time to stand up.

Companies should not be dictating to society about social issues. Companies are in the news every week for ripping of staff and are not exemplary institutions to be revered. Companies should just stick to what they are suppose to do and provide goods and services and nothing else

Can you pretty please get actual independent experts on your shows so we can have some critical thinking to improve the discourse in our democracy. It cannot be that hard can it? After all knowledge is to be valued.

Australia’s biggest issue: TheIPA pushing a hidden corporate agenda:

What do ya think of that Harvey?

Is Janet concerned with the Coalition government deliberately ignoring 23 highly experienced fire chiefs warnings of climate change drastically increasing the severity of bushfires..inhibiting hazard reduction and dismissing advice to employ more equipment to fight firestorms

Care factor - ZERO

Companies use the media every day to push their agendas. It's called PR and advertising. I think in a democracy people are allowed to leverage power by boycotting companies if they choose aren't they dum-dum?

yeahna007 We have that here in the US.

Yes it's a big issue, worse is the fact that the state are literally prosecuting individuals for cutting heads of dummy's because it MIGHT 'offend' someone, even though nobody complained. They argued they have free speech but the people don't. This is treason.

Not everyone has the same world view as Janet. She should accept that and stop trying to make everyone a clone of her.

Only concern is that when men get sacked who are experts with lots of experience to make way for inexperienced unqualified women, no one bats an eyelid. All for gender politics. Why is that?

It will all be over soon when the Falou case includes Qantas Fair work act is clear on collusion.
