</div>
<div>I am sure that Simon's shareholding in iiNet is well documented, would have been thoroughly considered before he was offered a place on the NBNCo board, and he'd be careful to not let a conflict of interest arise (or would abstain from any vote on the
board where a conflict of interest due to his ownership of shared in a company that may receive commercial benefit over any other by an NBNCo decision may be perceived).</div>

</div>
<div>This is a massive positive, it's one of the truly sensible appointments to the NBNCo board as far as I am concerned.</div>
