capacity as a director or executive, for which they may

Proceedings on behalf of the
Company
No person has applied to the Court under section
237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring
proceedings on behalf of the Company, or to intervene
in any proceedings to which the Company is a party for
the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the
Company for all or part of those proceedings.
Non-audit services
for non-audit services provided during the financial year
by the auditor are outlined in note 32 to the financial
statements.
The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-
audit services during the financial year, by the auditor
(or by another person or firm on the auditor’s behalf), is
compatible with the general standard of independence
for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.
The directors are of the opinion that the services as
disclosed in note 32 to the financial statements do
not compromise the external auditor’s independence
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the
following reasons:
• all non-audit services have been reviewed and
approved to ensure that they do not impact the
integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and
• none of the services undermine the general principles
relating to auditor independence as set out in APES
110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued
by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards
Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor’s
own work, acting in a management or decision-
making capacity for the Company, acting as advocate
for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and
rewards.
