The Victorian Farmers Federation remains in turmoil as about 200 members support a second call for an extraordinary general meeting in an attempt to dissolve the board and spill elected positions.
The push has been led by former grains president Brett Hosking and Andrew Weidemann.A second attempt today, with the backing of about 200 members, to hold an EGM and move to dismiss elected VFF directors, Ms Germano and vice president Danyel Cucinotta, was rejected on similar grounds.a group of grain-grower members wrote to the boardIn May, an almost $10 million share portfolio established in the 1990s was liquidated to generate income for the VFF grains committee.
But the VFF president has been resolute, claiming the latest bid to hold an EGM was invalid and would have "put the Federation in immediate breach of the Corporations Act." "It's not my job to help people who are trying to spill the leadership. It's our job to help run the organisation."Ms Germano also labelled the push to dismiss her and vice president Ms Cucinotta as a "personal attack" and a "coup against the leadership", claiming the group wanted "her head on a pike".
