Was the famous Michael Atkinson. There was a massive backlash and he was forced to repeal it a rush. I suspect the same might happen here once the public realise the implications of such a law.

The "attourney" is a female.

Tell that to the 3+ million business that already use Google Apps which does have an SLA.

No only South Australian's.

This might look like a good thing, but they're basically trying to undo the R18+ reforms, by making MA15+ the same as R18+. As many have pointed out, it will achieve nothing and add complication for retailers and buyers. Why can't we just accept the classifications boards definitions, like the rest of the states.

Under the legislation, movies like the Saw franchise can be seen by minors, but games like GTA and Mortal combat can't be played.

This is just typical Adelaide politics. We endured the idiot Michael Atkinson with his overly conservative views, holding Australian to ransom over game classification reform. He made us look like a joke for too many years. Now we have to suffer another idiot trying to do the same, pandering to a fringe group of religious do-gooders/ nuts-cases, that are hell bent on making this state a retirement village. We all bitch about Adelaide getting a bad rap, but it's this kind of crap that instils SA's backwater reputation.

Don't forget Stern Hu and three colleagues of mining giant Rio Tinto, who were jailed in a secret trial after stealing state secrets and taking bribes. http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/02/12/2818526.htm

Huh? What has colour or polarization got to do with it? You need two eyes to properly preceive depth.

Obviously the mods are from TAS and think it's normal. :-)

Sorry your app was reject for being too heterosexual.

That's hardly the case. There's a few high profiled cases, the ATO brags about, but the reality is much different. CEO's like this guy are too small to bother about, unless he's burned some wealthy creditor, who will make a noise.

I've been involved in two Australian based start-ups and the CEO's/directors that skipped overseas with IP, fistfuls of investor cash and huge debts are quite happily living abroad. They even visit and live in Australia for extend periods without the fear of the ATO.

I sympathise with the employees. I went through a similar situation in 2007.

GEERS is your friend*, and the liquidator will help you with the information needed to complete your GEERS application. Unfortunately GEERS doesn't cover unpaid super and most companies in these circumstances just fail to pay super and accumulate fines for late super payments rather than the actual amount.

As the law currently stands it very simple for dodgy CEO's to thieve the IP and take operations overseas. The ATO and ASIC are either too slow, bogged down with redtape or just plain toothless.

The sad fact is CEO's/directors don't even need to move overseas. All you need to do is have a parent company overseas that the IP is assigned to. The local company then operates on the smell of an oily rag, runs up liabilities and even gets government RD grants/tax rebates. When creditors/employees come to collect, there's nothing, but a bit of office equipment and furniture. It's even possible to start a new company and then buy the salvaged office assets of the previous company and even trade from the very same office and the ATO and ASIC don't even batter an eye lid.

*As for GEERS and the liquidator, chase them ruthlessly. The department/program is biased to the liquidators findings. If there's incomplete, incorrect or absent employee entitlement records (as is often the case with poorly run companies), GEERS will not pay you a cent, if the liquidator can't provide support or evidence of he amounts. (I found out the hard way and lost 2 years AL)

All the best with your fight.
