Chair Update - 11 March 2024

Within the report, Allan Parker AOM has stated “With a takeover to gain control of the board in this fashion, along with the resignation of CEO and the possible need to reappoint up to several directors, the risk and destabilisation to the organisation is substantial, and needs to be considered with great care."

Also raised as of serious concern throughout the ADR process “is a sexual harassment claim regarding one of the 'group of three' which has not been managed appropriately nor fully to completion.”

I’d like to reassure shareholders that this matter is being taken very seriously and steps are being put in place to ensure all staff feel safe in their place of work.

Over the coming weeks, there will be an abundance of information distributed through the local media and via face to face conversations between Shareholders, Directors and the members of the community.

I encourage all shareholders to participate in the proposed General Meeting, to do your own research into information you have heard or seen, and to think carefully about how you cast your vote. This will ensure the future of Murray Irrigation is not put at risk by the possible disruption that the removal of Non-Member Directors Trisha Gorman and Robert Burbury from the Murray Irrigation Board could cause.
