Australian companies should take heed of Downer EDI's experience with @nswicac and review their own anti-corruption policies #ausbiz $DOW afr.com/companies/infrastruc…
This week's @nswicac hearings into alleged corruption on rail projects have heard that one former Downer EDI engineer accepted tens of thousands of dollars in cash from a transport agency manager who had become "a shoulder to cry on" #ausbiz $DOW afr.com/companies/infrastruc…
Companies should rethink online anti-corruption courses after a former Downer EDI project manager told @nswicac he didn't pay much attention and considered it a "tick and flick" exercise #ausbiz $DOW afr.com/companies/infrastruc…

Not surprised by the slump in ratings given how much @RadioNational has been messing around with programs. I've stopped turning the radio on after work ever since they moved @RNDrive to 4pm @andy_park Really miss the 6pm broadcast smh.com.au/business/companie…

When the change in guidance is so frequent and material you need two slides just to cover it all off. $DOW. Golly that's a detonation.
Investors were not impressed with yet another profit warning from one of Australia's biggest services companies #ausbiz $DOW afr.com/companies/infrastruc…
It can be tricky weaning off a previously lucrative income stream like coal. Will Aurizon's attempt to diversify make money? #ausbiz $AZJ afr.com/companies/infrastruc…

The AFR's Europe correspondent @hansvan333 dropped into Lex Greensill's English village and got him talking on his latest scheme. "There is a question in the village that because Greensill Capital went bust, can I be trusted to do what I said?” afr.com/world/europe/the-bat…
