Anticipating tomorrow's challenges - today.
After more than a decade in development, Queensland has introduced the Trusts Act 2025 (Qld), the most significant reform to trust law in over 50 years. Replacing the long-standing Trusts Act 1973 (Qld), the new legislation modernises and simplifies the framework by removing outdated provisions, adopting clearer language, and aligning the law with contemporary trust practices.
On 18 August 2025, the Federal Court awarded the Transport Workers’ Union $50 million out of the $90 million penalty judgment it ordered against Australian airline, Qantas Airways Limited for its largest and most significant contravention of Pt 3-1 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) in over a decade. The case reminds employers to comply with the Fair Work Act when outsourcing work and to be aware, especially for larger employer corporations, that if a breach of the legislation is found, massive penalties may be ordered.
