Happy 1000-Day Milestone, Everyone!
It’s hard to believe, but today marks 1,000 days since AVZ officially went into suspension.
With the soaring cost of living, skyrocketing house prices, and stagnant wage growth across many industries in Australia, I can’t help but wonder how many families, children, and relatives have had their lives irreversibly impacted by this situation. Sometimes I reflect on 2022 as a crossroads in my life, wondering if I chose the wrong path. But this journey isn’t over yet, and we are in a better position than the last 999 days.
I’d like to give a heartfelt shoutout to all the amazingly high-effort regulars - Jens, DeBoss, Obe Wan, David, Cumquat, Frank, Cruiser—too many to name really, who’ve tirelessly kept up the public fight in the interest of all shareholders. I truly appreciate your efforts. On days when I’ve lacked the mental or emotional energy to stay engaged, seeing your drive and consistency for justice has been a real source of inspiration.
Of course, I also want to thank Nigel and the Board of Directors for navigating what must be one of the most challenging periods of their lives. Facing down three hostile governments (their own included), relentless shareholders, dishonest journalists, slippery characters like Carrick tarnishing their reputations, and corporate giants trying to outmaneuver them, all while having their hands tied, as the only party actually playing by the rules - to say it can't have been easy would be an understatement.
It’s been one hell of a journey, and through it, I’ve discovered a level of resilience I never knew I had. So if anything, there's that.
The finish line feels closer than ever. There’s a shift in the air, and I believe the end of this saga is on the horizon. It’s been a tough road, but I’m hopeful that soon we’ll finally see the closure, and the justice we’ve all been waiting for.
