[Julien Goodwin]

The continuation of the AGM will be in Room 6 at the Gold Coast
Convention and Exhibition Centre starting at 12:40 AEST.

For those not present at the AGM, due to a timezone error the results
for the constitutional change vote were not available last night so the
meeting was adjourned until today.
