GEM to buy Genius, page-2

The ABC has been running that line all week after the 4Corners Program.

G8Education is a better manager and administrator for those centers than Genius could have ever been.

Genius was never able to pay educators, had appalling putrid food, and ABC showed evidence of it being an unsafe provider using the much maligned and infamous Challenger Services Group for cleaning and other services.

Challenger Services Group even suggested and alleged that "At Challenger, we understand the delicate and unique need to provide specialised cleaning services for the education and childcare sector. All our staff are strictly vetted and screened to meet working with children protocols. We take our recruitment process very seriously and take pride in the quality of our staff, service standard and delivery. Our specialists in child Care Center cleaning are well equipped to do the work, and we have enormous expertise in daycare center cleaning services with experienced Child Care Center Cleaners across Australia." Again I am not saying that any of that is completely false or in any way true but only that those claims have been made on the CS Group website in spite of the many complaints about Genius Centers and shutdowns by state regulators.

Serious abuse was levelled at those centers some of which were shut down. Challenger Services Group has still been allowed to continue and G8Education may still have to honor the Challenger Services Group contracts regardless of the breaches.
