Angry shareholders vote against SevenWest executive pay deal as Kerry Stokes says he too has suffered | Weekly Beast

The media tycoon presided over his presumptive last annual general meeting as Seven West Media’s chair. Plus: ABC’s 90s hit returns, but will it work?

On Thursday, media tycoon Kerry Stokes presided over his last annual general meeting as Seven West Media’s chair (as long as the anticipated merger with Triple M and Hit radio network owner Southern Cross Media goes ahead).

The 85-year-old, who is expected to step down in February, tried to reassure shareholders, telling the company’s AGM in Sydney that executives at Network Seven and The West Australian newspaper had not been paid bonuses this year.
