I myself am relieved about this news.. I can stop worrying about the future of the NBN so much! I will sleep well tonight.

Regards,
Z.B.

Directors have little say over operational matters and he is a vote of one, if anything of direct conflict came up he would probably abstain from a vote.

Not competitors really, but there may be situations where something might benefit iiNet more so than other NBN wholesalers, maybe, probably not.

iiNet and NBN aren't considered competitors AFAIK, so there'd be no conflict of interest in that sense.

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).

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

not sure how resigning from iinet while maintaining a significant amount of shares isnt still a conflict of interest but frankly hackett is a solid bloke so if anyone could do it itd be him!

grats!
