Attachment


Resolution 1 - Amend the company’s constitution


To amend the Constitution to insert beneath Clause 7 ‘General meetings’ the following

new sub-clause: “Member resolutions at general meeting”


“The shareholders in a general meeting may by ordinary resolution express an opinion,

ask for information, or make a request, about the way in which a power of the Company

partially or exclusively vested in the Directors has been or should be exercised.

However, such a resolution must relate to an issue of material relevance to the

Company or the Company's business as identified by the Company, and cannot either

advocate action which would violate any law or relate to any personal claim or

grievance. Such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the

Company.”



Resolution 2 - Assess effectiveness of ethical sourcing and human rights

frameworks

Shareholders request the Board of Directors commission an independent third-party

report assessing how effectively our company implements its ethical sourcing and

human rights frameworks concerning technology suppliers.

The information should be published on Westpac’s website by no later than next year’s

annual reporting date and omit commercially sensitive information.
