AGL Energy, the countryâs biggest greenhouse gas emitter, has agreed to give shareholders a vote on climate reporting for both its demerged businesses as renewed pressures build up around its emissions commitments ahead of its annual shareholder meeting.
Shareholders in both the coal power-heavy Accel Energy and in the retail-dominated AGL Australia will be able to have their say in an advisory vote on the respective companyâs climate report, chairman Peter Botten advised on Thursday.
The concession is in line with the âSay on Climateâ campaign, an initiative developed by British activist investor Christopher Hohn which has been gaining traction in Australia. Woodside Petroleum, Santos, Rio Tinto and Oil Search have this year all agreed to put on climate reporting to a non-binding, advisory vote starting at their 2022 AGMs.
Fire fought
FIRE fighters from Carrum Downs, Edithvale, Patterson River, Skye, and Frankston fire brigades were among those that helped to battle a huge blaze in Lyndhurst last week.
At around 10pm on 17 July, firefighters were alerted to a fire at the corner of Thompsons Rd and McCormicks Rd in Lyndhurst. They were told that a large glasshouse was ablaze.
Fire crews arrived to find the building burning. They worked into the early hours of the morning to extinguish it.
A statement on the Carrum Downs Fire Brigade Facebook page read “Crews worked through the night and well into today to suppress and extinguish the fire. Noble Park Fire Brigade moved up to Carrum Downs Fire Station to provide fire coverage for the local communities.”

Traffic on one end of the Kenneth Kaunda Road in Bloemfontein ground to a halt on Monday afternoon in the wake of an accident that claimed the life of one man and injured three others.
Emergency medical service, Med24, reports that after 16:30 they received calls that a Toyota, with four occupants, collided with a Volkswagen Caddy.
The force of the impact resulted in the Toyota overturning and landing on its roof, killing the male driver and trapping the second of the four occupants in the vehicle. Med24 says the injured man was removed from the wreckage using the jaws of life, treated, and promptly transported to the Pelonomi Hospital.
