excellent read- phoenixing is a gold mine for dodgy company directors and urgently needs to be shut down.
Australia’s phoenix problem isn’t a flaw in the law, it’s a failure of enforcement. With simple reforms, properly funded liquidations, real director penalties, and empowered creditors, we can shut down this $5 billion racket. #auspol #business

We kept being told that journalism was a bulwark against fascism, a "fourth estate". This is the liberal frame for perceiving the industry's worth. But the reality is the polar opposite: fascism has been allowed to thrive, and could not have done so, without journalism.

Concerning. Australia’s nuclear facilities at Lucas heights are used for the production of medical isotopes critical for Australian Medicine. It would be a huge deal if they have moved into work relating to the weird proposed AUKUS nuclear subs, even a perception it is defence related is alarming.
