Ann: Redflow enters Voluntary Administration, page-128

There's not really much I can tell them, except to say that Recycal (as Ecocycle) will take the dead units for a price. I was quoted $1442, inclusive of GST, for disposal of my unit: transport charge $190; fuel levy charge $40.91; zinc bromide (240 kg) $960; and a crane/hook charge (if required) $120. (The latter wasn't actually required in my case.) All of those line items are excluding GST, so add another 10% ($131.09) for the total cost.

The transport charge and fuel levy charge will vary depending on where the battery is relative to the Recycal depot. There are mutterings that I saw in the group (before Facebook told me to get an account to see more) that Everest Energy might be organising something for large scale disposal, but I'm in no position to confirm or refute that - it might be wishful thinking.

As for your last paragraph, I have to concur. Management treated shareholders with contempt - there's no other word for it. There was critical information that they should have made known, to allow shareholders to judge the risk of the company appropriately; that they didn't meant that shareholders were led to believe that the company had less risk than it actually had. I'm willing to go so far as to say that the intent might have been good - but the result was very far from it.

It's certainly the case that I would view any company Tim Harris heads in the future with extreme caution. The transparency was very far from what should be expected for a publicly traded company, and that particular buck stops with him.
