Regulators were warned twice about an NDIS-linked operator now embroiled in liquidations, litigation and claims of missing money, with Home Affairs refusing to say what it did the first time it was made aware of the situation, and ASIC declining to act on the second warning.
Home Affairs received an anonymous tip-off in March 2021 alleging financial misconduct by Lenard Swanepoel-Trollip and later referred the information to the Administrative Review Tribunal, an independent federal body that reviews government decisions.
