Never ever forget how this ASX-Listed, multi-national company treated everyday people.
Bled them dry, continued to pursue ex-franchisees in court even while they were being sued by the ACCC and in a class action, and after they were hammered in the media.

Retail Food Group remains the worst company we have investigated in franchising.
To this day, we come across people impacted by them.
We are not surprised by this news, given RFG's awful conduct towards franchisees, mouldy cakes, & the class action.

Another underpayment scandal by a billion dollar company is hitting the news now.
Lovisa is being sued in a class action, which alleges unpaid overtime.
It's not just a few bad apples. Too often, it's retail giants who are listed on the ASX.

10/12 - The independent nurses may be small businesses, but the industry is a high profit industry designed to drive insecurities in all of us. While you might feel you are immune to marketing tactics by this industry, young and vulnerable people are falling victim to it.

9/12 - Unfortunately as we’ve seen with the Cosmetic Cowboys scandals (which we researched and exposed), when profit is a strong driver, patient safety and outcomes suffer. We are seeing this in the injectables space as we are contacted by patients and concerned practitioners.

1/9. It's 2025 and as of 1 January, intentional underpayments are a criminal offence in Australia. A big chunk of my colleague's (@maddisonjohnstone.bsky.social) and my work in exposing so many underpayment scandals helped lead to this, starting with the mass systemic underpayments at 7-Eleven.
