 Hey people, I have made the decision to start my own business after struggling in the industry for almost 10 years. My professional choices have been a disaster and I do not know how to make it better. However, it is not desperation to get out of this. I always wanted to run my own business.

AGL’s board announced it was dumping its demerger proposal yesterday. Heads have rolled too.

But it remains to be seen if Cannon-Brookes and his allies can achieve their ultimate goal – to force AGL, Australia’s biggest carbon emitter, to accelerate the closure of its coal and gas-fired power stations.
