16 Apr 2025 SKM Services Pty LtdSKM Services: 1.14 million AUD after major 2017 fire at Coolaroo recycling plant €639,874
A County Court jury convicted SKM Services Pty Ltd of aggravated pollution – having negligently caused or allowed an environmental hazard that created a considerable risk of serious danger to public health – and of three counts of air pollution; the company was fined 1.14 million AUD. The 2017 fire at the recycling plant in Coolaroo had spread through stockpiles of cardboard and other recyclables, burned for more than a week and led to evacuations in the neighbourhood; according to the court's findings, the company and its director contributed to the extent of the pollution by increasing the volumes stored although an earlier fire had reduced the processing capacity. Measures against individuals are not set out here.
Stockpiles of combustible recyclables and waste must be matched to actual processing capacity, especially after disruptions such as an earlier fire.

7 Jun 2024 an Australian casino operatorAustralian casino operator: 67 million AUD for anti-money laundering breaches €41m
On application by AUSTRAC (Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre, Australia's anti-money laundering regulator and financial intelligence unit), the Federal Court of Australia on 7 June 2024 imposed a penalty of 67 million AUD on the casino operator for contraventions of the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006; the casino operator must also pay AUSTRAC's costs of 3 million AUD. AUSTRAC had brought the proceedings in December 2022 following its own supervisory work in the casino sector, having identified serious and systemic non-compliance with anti-money laundering obligations.
Supervisors examine entire sectors proactively; businesses operating in them should test the effectiveness of their anti-money laundering programme themselves before the regulator does.

On application by AUSTRAC (Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre, Australia's anti-money laundering regulator and financial intelligence unit), the Federal Court of Australia on 11 July 2023 imposed a penalty of 450 million AUD on the two casino operators for contraventions of the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006.

As reporting entities, casino operators are subject to anti-money laundering law; gaps in meeting their obligations can trigger penalties running into hundreds of millions.
