A university admin worker has declared bankruptcy, almost six years after she told a group of students to leave an indigenous-only computer lab at the Queensland University of Technology.

QUT stopping segregation with segregation?
Jackson Powell, another of the boys kicked out, responded with: I wonder where the white supremacist computer lab is.
Another QUT student Calum Thwaites, who was not told to leave the lab, was alleged to have writt…

The bankrupt former owner of a Victorian waste facility has appealed after being slapped with a 90-day jail sentence for breaching fire safety orders at the debris-laden site.
David McAuliffe, who now lives in the Whitsundays, was bailed on Friday afternoon by Geelong Magistrates Court.
McAuliffe breached Victorian Civil and Administrative orders on three occasions by failing to keep an excavator, bulldozer and water tank on the Lara site for the purposes of fire prevention.
The nine charges were brought by the City of Greater Geelong, which is tasked with cleaning up the waste-piled site.
Magistrate John Lesser earlier on Friday jailed McAuliffe, who pleaded guilty to the charges, saying a financial penalty would be “nugatory”.
The declared …

Cows with gums: Bendigo and Adelaide Bank for once loses a case bought by a Great Southern agribusiness investor due to shambolic paperwork. (Photo: Kat Jayne)
A NSW court has dismissed loan recovery action by Bendigo and Adelaide Bank against an investor in several Great Southern Plantations schemes. It is not the first time the courts have knocked the bank back over similar recovery action, but more commonly these cases break for the lender.
The District Court of New South Wales decision late last week may encourage the more dogmatic investors in Great Southern schemes who borrowed to make their investments and are still being pursued a decade later for repayment of the loans.
The borrower in this case was Mrs Govindasamy, who p…

Whisky sales in Korea have been on a continuous downturn over the past decade mainly due to changes in lifestyle of Koreans. The domestic sales of the spirit recorded some 1.49 million boxes (a box containing 500ml bottles) in 2018. Industry watchers attribute it to the reduced chances of get-togethers of company employees after the government measure to limit the maximum workweek to 52 hours, sluggish economy and an increasing number of people enjoying drinking alone.
To find a breakthrough in the declining market, Pernod Ricard Korea (PRK) has announced a restructuring plan, selling off its Imperial brand and reducing the number of employees through an early retirement program.
