The Government needs to be bold and far-sighted, beyond the ACCC Digital Platforms Inquiry, to address the crisis in public interest journalism. https://t.co/ZzzJ8or331 @afels1 b912c516766a416f5627c1d09e7c79b9 #digitalplatforms #journalism #auspol #media @afels1 @acccgovau

Franchise/Franchisee model needs revamping for greater accountability @169lunar @JmarrMarr @GeorgesStPaul1 @MarkPlackett1 @adele_ferguson

[Allan Fels @afels1]

A key disagreement of 7-11 repaying employees centred on 'burden of proof' in many cases the Franchisees did not keep or destroyed documents

[Allan Fels @afels1]

I agree - I am anticipating bipartisan support in new policy @JmarrMarr @MdmAbsentMinded @GeorgesStPaul1 @MarkPlackett1 @adele_ferguson

[Allan Fels @afels1]

My independent Panel uncovered evidence of the "half pay" scheme & intimidation tactics against employees. Those reportedly involved remain.

[Allan Fels @afels1]

My concerns are that 7-11 focus on media management & not systemic problems. Franchisees that were reportedly intimidating staff remain

[Allan Fels @afels1]

Essentially the Board and most management of 7-11 are the same people who oversaw unlawful practices @Maintenonmadame @donutphilosophy

[Allan Fels @afels1]

I raised concerns of intimidation and poor practices however 7-11 chose to take the process "in house" avoiding scrutiny @donutphilosophy

[Allan Fels @afels1]

I remain concerned for 7-11 employees & fear problems continue @MdmAbsentMinded @JmarrMarr @GeorgesStPaul1 @MarkPlackett1 @adele_ferguson

[Allan Fels @afels1]

I have said for some time that the business model was questionable - I would have liked to get the bottom of lending practices @ksrinu216

After 12 mths 7-Eleven are giving signals that they are more concerned with reputation & "spin" than fixing problems https://t.co/DCl4pZLKx9

I am in constructive discussions with the Federal Minister on change https://t.co/Yztw6ozQuZ @GeorgesStPaul1 @MarkPlackett1 @adele_ferguson

[Allan Fels @afels1]

Before it was removed, the independent panel provided information to 7-11 indicating serious intimidation of workers https://t.co/er7yUQ9oRp

[Allan Fels @afels1]

Information provided to 7-11 indicated high profile Franchisees were seen to have control over the organisation https://t.co/er7yUQ9oRp

[Allan Fels @afels1]

When 7-Eleven decided to take the compensation panel "inhouse" I cautioned that some Franchisees would return to unlawful behaviour
