In insolvency work, creditor meetings tend to look procedural on paper. Votes are lodged, outcomes are counted, and resolutions pass or fail. Simple enough. But anyone who’s spent time in this space knows it’s rarely that clean. When there’s something significant at stake, voting behaviour can become… strategic. That’s where vote stacking comes into the […]

Two fundamentally different ways to count votes When people talk about elections, the focus is usually on who wins. Less attention gets paid to how that result is actually produced — yet the counting method can shape the outcome just as much as the candidates themselves. Two systems come up again and again: first past […]
What Happens If Your Protected Action Ballot Fails? A failed protected action ballot (PAB) can feel like a setback. There’s no point dressing that up — if employees don’t support industrial action, it changes the tone of bargaining overnight. But it’s not the end of the road. In practice, I’ve seen plenty of negotiations regain […]
ISO-Certified Voting Providers — Why Certification Really Matters When you work in governance or elections long enough, you start to notice a simple pattern: most problems don’t come from the voting process itself, they come from uncertainty about how that process is managed behind the scenes. That’s where certification becomes more than a badge on […]
If you’re putting an enterprise agreement (EA) to a vote, the Better Off Overall Test — usually shortened to “BOOT” — is the hurdle that ultimately decides whether it gets approved. It’s not a tick-the-box exercise. The Fair Work Commission will scrutinise the agreement in detail, and if it doesn’t pass the BOOT, it simply […]
Proxy voting is one of those things that looks routine… right up until it isn’t. Most meetings run smoothly. Then you hit one where a proxy’s been submitted late, or the form doesn’t quite line up with the Act, and suddenly you’re dealing with objections mid-meeting. Not ideal. Under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), proxy […]
If you’ve ever sat in a committee meeting where online voting gets raised, you’ll know how quickly the conversation turns to security. Not usability. Not convenience. Security. And that’s fair enough. Moving a vote online means people want to know one thing: can this actually be trusted? The answer isn’t a blanket yes or no. […]
This is one of those questions where the answer depends entirely on what kind of voting you’re talking about. People often assume “online voting” is either broadly allowed or broadly prohibited. In reality, Australia draws a very clear line between government elections and organisational or private voting. Understanding that distinction is critical — especially if […]
Proxy voting sits at the heart of corporate and strata governance in Australia. Whether it’s a company AGM, a strata meeting, or a trustee decision, proxy voting ensures that members and stakeholders can still have their say—even when they can’t attend in person. Done properly, it strengthens participation, improves transparency, and helps organisations stay compliant. […]
A “no” vote on an enterprise agreement can feel like a setback—but it’s important to understand that it is not the end of the process. In Australia’s workplace relations framework, a rejected agreement simply means the proposal hasn’t met the required level of employee support yet. From here, employers have several clear pathways forward. The […]
