Annual Report 2004 49
8. Likely Developments
Certain likely developments in the operations of the consolidated entity and the expected results of those operations in future financial years are
referred to at pages 2 to 7, 11 to 12, 16 to 23 and 26 to 28 of this Annual Report. Further information about likely developments in the operations
of the consolidated entity and the expected results of those operations in future financial years has not been included in this report because
disclosure of the information would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the consolidated entity.
9. Directors’ and Senior Executives’ Remuneration
The remuneration policies and practices of the Company, (including the compensation arrangements for executive Directors and senior management),
the Company’s superannuation arrangements, the fees for non-executive members of the Board (within the aggregate amount approved by
shareholders), the Company’s employee share and option plans and executive and senior management performance review and succession planning
are matters referred to and considered by the Remuneration Committee of the Board, which has access to independent advice and comparative
studies on the appropriateness of remuneration arrangements. Details of the Company’s remuneration policies and the nature and amount of the
remuneration of the Directors and Specified Executives are set out on pages 31 and 37 to 40 of this Annual Report and in Notes 18 and 26 to the
financial statements.
10. Indemnification
Article 177 of the Company’s Constitution provides that the Company indemnifies each person who is or who has been an “officer” (as defined in 
the Corporations Act) of the Company against any liability to another person (other than the Company or a related body corporate) arising from their
position as such officer, unless the liability arises out of conduct involving a lack of good faith. The Company has insured against amounts which it
is liable to pay pursuant to Article 177 or which it otherwise agrees to pay by way of indemnity. Article 177 also provides for an indemnity in favour
of an officer or auditor (KPMG) in relation to costs incurred in defending proceedings in which judgement is given in their favour, or in which they
are acquitted or the Court grants relief.
In conformity with Article 177, the Company is party to Deeds of Indemnity in favour of each of the Directors referred to in this report who held
office during the year and certain executives of the consolidated entity, being indemnities to the full extent permitted by law. There is no monetary
limit to the extent of the indemnity under those Deeds and no liability has arisen thereunder during or since the financial year. 
During the year, the Company paid premiums in respect of Directors' and Officers' Liability and Legal Expenses insurance contracts for the year ending
31 December 2004 and since the end of the year the Company has paid, or agreed to pay, premiums in respect of such contracts for the year ending
31 December 2005. The insurance contracts insure against certain liability (subject to exclusions) persons who are or have been directors or officers
of the Company and controlled entities. A condition of the contracts is that the nature of the liability indemnified and the premium payable not be
disclosed.
