Qantas Announces Chairman Succession Plan ASX and Media Release QANTAS ANNOUNCES CHAIRMAN SUCCESSION PLAN 28 June 2018 Qantas Chairman Leigh Clifford will step down from the national carrier in October 2018, after 11 years in the role. Current board member, Richard Goyder, will assume the role of Qantas Chairman following the AGM on 26 October. Mr Clifford became Chairman of Qantas in November 2007. He led the Board through one of the most transformative periods in the airline’s 98 year history and to record levels of profitability, employee engagement and customer satisfaction. Announcing his retirement as Chairman, Mr Clifford said: “It has been an absolute privilege to lead the Qantas Board for these past 11 years. The national carrier has never been in a stronger position and that’s a credit to the management team and the 30,000 employees that make up the Qantas Group family. “Richard is one of the most experienced business leaders in Australia and an excellent choice to lead the Qantas Board into the future.” Mr Goyder joined the Qantas Board in November 2017 after serving as CEO of Wesfarmers Limited for 12 years. His other roles include Chairman of Woodside Petroleum Limited and the Australian Football League. Mr Goyder said: “Qantas is an iconic Australian company and one of the best performing airline groups in the world. I’m honoured to be named its Chairman and look forward to working with my Board colleagues to help it take advantage of the opportunities ahead.” The October 2018 AGM will mark the end of Leigh Clifford’s current three-year term on the Qantas Board.

We are also reviewing ways to strengthen the management team through the completion of an international search exercise. corporatefile.com.au Are you comfortable with the fact that you’ll now be owning 100% of the Coles businesses compared with your original plan of owning 100% of Target and Officeworks and 50% of the food, liquor and convenience businesses? Richard Goyder Irrespective of the structure, Wesfarmers was always going to have a major ownership position in all of the Coles businesses and accordingly we have done extensive due diligence on every business in the Coles group including the supermarkets, liquor and convenience businesses. As part of our evaluation of the 50% ownership outcome, we ran our traditional discounted cash flow models assuming 100% ownership of each business to ensure that the value was there irrespective of the ultimate funding structure. We have been completely comfortable on the outcomes of due diligence on each business and 1 this analysis gave me and the Board of Wesfarmers the confidence to proceed with a 100% acquisition.

    ASX and Media Statement ANNOUNCEMENT OF NEW QANTAS BOARD MEMBER 6 April 2017 Sydney: Qantas Chairman Leigh Clifford today announced that Richard Goyder AO has agreed to join the Board of Qantas Airways Limited as a non-executive director in October 2017. Mr Goyder will seek election to the Qantas Board at the Qantas Annual General Meeting on 27 October 2017 and, if approved by Qantas shareholders, will commence his duties as a director after stepping down as the CEO of Wesfarmers in November 2017. Mr Clifford said Mr Goyder’s experience at the highest level of Australian business would strengthen the Board at an important time for the national carrier. “Richard has led one Australia’s largest and most diverse companies for more than 12 years, through a period of significant change and growth,” Mr Clifford said. “As well as his achievements with Wesfarmers, he’s respected as a clear voice for the business community on broader economic and policy issues. Having his knowledge and perspective on the Board will be a great asset as we continue to deliver for Qantas’ shareholders and customers.” Mr Goyder said: “Very few companies have shaped Australia like Qantas, so it’s an honour to be asked to join its Board. I’ve admired the way that the management team led by Alan Joyce has repositioned the Group over the past few years, and it’s clear that Qantas has an exciting future with some big opportunities ahead. I hope to make a contribution to that next chapter.” About Richard Goyder Having first joined Wesfarmers in 1993, Mr Goyder was appointed Deputy Managing Director and CFO in 2004.

    Tasmanian Legislative Council Select Committee Inquiry into AFL in Tasmania Submission from Russell Hanson 18th June 2019 Because of the history of Tasmanian football, in particular, from the creation of the AFL in 1990, there needs to be an understanding of just what has happened since then; what the AFL has done, or more correctly have not done. My submission therefore will examine the history and recent events with an aim to provide context for the Select Committee. It will also look at current problems and solutions and will examine the future with budgets, economic returns and the way forward. This may not follow precisely the Terms of Reference, but it will incorporate the 7 items throughout. I sincerely hope this will work for you as I believe a better understanding of the issues will become apparent.
