And on my left, we’ve got Norbert Sasse and Tonianne Dwyer. And of course, our CEO, Ross Lees. Ross Lees, yes, who’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer. We will now — we will hear from Michelle, Panico and Josephine later in the meeting in relation to their reelections. Members of the management team in attendance include Minas Frangoulis, our Company Secretary, to my left; and Jacquee Jovanovski — the rest of the management team is in the front row; Jacquee Jovanovski, our Chief Operating Officer; Sean Scanlon, our Interim Chief Financial Officer; Michael Green, our Chief Investment Officer; and Sam Sproats, our Executive Director, Funds Management.
