The option is designed to avoid the state and territory stamp duty that could otherwise be triggered if businesses moved into companies or fixed trusts. The government had already promised expanded rollover relief for businesses seeking to restructure. That relief…

Gus Worland, founder of the Gotcha4Life Foundation, said mental fitness should become a permanent part of the school day rather than an occasional wellbeing session. “Let’s make mental fitness a subject in schools because there’s plenty of subjects that are just ticking the box now for you to get through school,” he told The Morning Show. The campaign comes as expressions of interest open for the 2027 intake of Gotcha4Life’s Mentally Fit Schools programme,…
