Nova Institute of Technology closed. Its company is in liquidation and administration at the same time

Creditors were asked to authorise one legal route for appointing administrators. ASIC later recorded a different one, on a notice that says the company is still in liquidation. On the same day, the skills regulator cancelled the college's registration without its consent.

Three government registers disagree about the Raine & Horne company facing a tax winding-up application

ASIC calls it A.C.N. 129 296 475 Pty Ltd. The Business Register says its best-known Raine & Horne name moved to another company in May. NSW Fair Trading still calls it Anstee Real Estate Pty Ltd and still licenses it under that name until 2027.

Sep 8, 2026

Macarthur Energy Pty Ltd is in liquidation. The authorised electricity retailer is a different company.

The company in liquidation holds thirteen business names, including Macarthur Energy and Macarthur Solar. Its published electricity contract names no legal company at all. AEMO and the Australian Energy Regulator both point to Macarthur Energy Retail Pty Ltd, ACN 643 524 921.

Sep 7, 2026

In 2025 Scott Pickett's restaurant entities were outside the administration. On 7 September, companies carrying their names appointed the same administrator.

Six companies appointed Manuel Hanna on 7 September. Three still carry the registered business names Matilda 159 Domain, Longrain Melbourne and Smith St Bistrot. At Chancery Lane, the liquor register identifies one company while current property material names another as tenant.

Ten firms did what it took thirty-two practitioners to do.

No individual handled three percent of July. Ten brands handled thirty-nine percent of it, and almost none of that came from the large multi-company filings you would expect.
