... the changes that will be wrought under the Latham-inspired, Howard-executed plan will more than halve the total remuneration of MPs in many instances.

The Federal Magistrates Court has dismissed an appeal by high-profile businessman John Elliott against a bankruptcy notice.
It is related to the failure of the company Water Wheel Holdings, of which Elliott was a director.

Administrator Nick Brooke says Mr Elliott must pay him by midnight, or he will institute bankruptcy proceedings in the Federal Court.
