SYDNEY (Reuters) - Westpac Banking Corp <WBC.AX> on Thursday became the biggest Australian company to have shareholders vote down its executive pay for a second year, at a marathon annual meeting dominated by investor outrage over a child exploitation payments scandal.
The "second strike" delivers a symbolic blow to the country's oldest bank and fifth-largest listed company as it seeks to reassure owners and customers it can find reasons and solutions for its deepest crisis in decades.
