Telstra shareholder ejected from AGM

A Telstra shareholder was physically thrown out of the telco's annual general meeting today as he disrupted the opening remarks of chairman Don McGauchie. The shareholder, Kenneth Ivory of Brisbane, stood up in the meeting and threw a handful of papers at the feet of Mr McGauchie. Mr McGauchie asked Mr Ivory to leave and when he did not, Mr Ivory was physically removed from the meeting by security guards. Protesting that he was being assaulted, Mr Ivory was taken by two security guards on either side of him and physically pulled from the hall in the Melbourne Convention Centre, where the meeting was taking place.
