19 mins listen June 03, 2022
AGL Energy, Australia’s largest electricity generator and polluter, abandoned plans to spin-off its coal assets after tech billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes bought shares to help block the move.

We discuss AGL’s attempt, this offloading trend, and where the company goes from here.
