18.01.2022 DICK SMITH - A CAUTIONARY TALE FOR SMALL BUSINESS As Dick Smith closes its doors with no saviour in sight, many small business owners are no doubt examining the long term viability of their own strategic growth plans. While a recent giant in the retail industry, it should be remembered that Dick Smith started out as a small business that targeted technology based hobbyists. While for a long time a fairy-tale success story, the Dick Smith share price fell by 80% after going ...public on the ASX in December 2013. Contact Cate Mullins Law for some friendly advice on the legal implications of your businesss growth plans or if you would like to better understand your duties and obligations as a company director and officer.

16.01.2022 CASUAL EMPLOYEE OR FULL TIME WORKER - IS THERE A DIFFERENCE? Close If you have employed a casual employee on a regular and ongoing basis for more than 12 months, not only may you be up for an unfair dismissal claim if the circumstances allow, you may also need to offer them full time employment or risk heavy fines and paying up on full time entitlements.... Some industry Awards already set out the need for an employer, in certain situations, to effectively offer their casual employee fulltime employment. Many believe that the review being conducted into Awards by Australias Fair Work Commission will result in this change being included in all awards. It is this proposed change and others, that has the fruit picking industry up in arms with proposed changes to the pickers pay and conditions under the Horticulture Award. With underpayment of workplace entitlements believed to be "rampant" in this Industry, the effect of such a change will be interesting. Contact Cate Mullins Law now - [email protected] - if you need help understanding the entitlements of your employees, or just visit our website - http://catemullinslaw.com.au/ - to discover other ways that Cate Mullins Law can support you and your business.

11.01.2022 INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY ... EQUALITY IN PAY - FARCE / FICTION OR JUST THE HOPED FOR FUTURE? International Womens Day holds great significance for Cate Mullins Law. While most definitely a day to celebrate all of the amazing accomplishments that we have attained, Cate Mullins Law recognises that it is also a day to question and re-evaluate. Today it was announced that the Matildas- the Australian Womens Football Team - secured their spot in the Rio Olympics.. the irony ...is inescapable!! The resilience and brilliance of this amazing team has only ever been eclipsed by the shocking disparity in pay that these world champion athletes receive compared to their less successful male counterparts. Of course disparity in pay is not just the fight of the Matildas, it is also the reality of the vast majority of Australian working women where the full time gender pay gap is stated as being 17.3% or a staggering $277.70 a week - www.wgea.gov.au//default/files/Gender_Pay_Gap_Factsheet.pdf We teach our daughters to aim for the stars and conquer all - do we just cross our fingers and hope that they can afford to support themselves in the process?!! Call Cate Mullins Law if you need legal advice or support with your employment and HR policies and procedures - http://catemullinslaw.com.au/

09.01.2022 ANOTHER CHARITY UNDER INVESTIGATION The Camp Gallipoli Foundation is now under investigation amidst allegations that, despite receiving $3.5m in Federal and Corporate funding last year, the Charity has been unable to turn a profit and deliver on its donor commitments to the RSL and the Legacy. CEO Chris Fox - who unbelievably was a bankrupt as recently as 2013 - is also under fire with Fairfax media reporting that he "is apparently trying to turn the event into a commercial v...enture by charging percentage based "management fees" through companies owned by his family and an associate."

08.01.2022 Thank you Layne Beachley for a riveting and awe inspiring presentation.

07.01.2022 DON'T DO A "WARNEY".. MAKE SURE YOUR CHARITY HAS STRONG CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES IN PLACE As can be seen by the embattled Shane Warne charity, altruistic intentions and celebrity connections does not a successful charity make .. to survive and really make a difference, charities must also have strong corporate governance practices and procedures in place.

03.01.2022 NSW BIKE LAWS - HAVE WE GONE TOO FAR? What are your thoughts? Is NSW a "Nanny State" or just concerned about the welfare of its citizens? Simon Breheny, editor of the FreedomWatch Blog, believes that laws like these erode our personal responsibility and that instead, we should be empowered to make our own life choices and learn our own life lessons ... not be dictated to by politicians.... Whatever the answer, it seems that the days of spontaneous bike rides are gone... mmm ... whats next .. Nightclub lockout laws?? Oh thats right .. we have that too!! Keen to hear your thoughts.
