Good afternoon,

Troubled gaming company The Star has been issued a show cause notice from the New South Wales Independent Casino Commission, which could result in a $100m fine and the loss of its Sydney casino licence, with the regulator pointing to four breaches outlined in the second Bell report.

Meanwhile, it has been revealed government-owned telco NBN Co paid its former chief executive Stephen Rue more than $1.4m while he was on gardening leave before helming Optus, double what the Prime Minister earns in a year.

And learn what it takes to ride the highs and lows of being the Aussie faces of the crypto generation, with Swyftx founders and best mates Alex Harper and Angus Goldman detailing the rise, fall and rise again of their exchange.
