The Spring 2016 CFMEU Worker magazine said “Beware! Don’t work for this guy” and “Is Octane Australia (High Octane?) just another company setup to burn workers and subbies? We’ll find out soon enough.” True to form, Subcontracting Serices Pty Ltd (Octane) have unpaid debts to contractors of more than $500,000 for their service station job in Learmonth Rd, Wendouree. Sally Stevens, on behalf of several creditors, writes that “While all contractors agree that Frank Nadinic did not refer to himself as the Director of Octane Australia Pty Ltd or its head contractor for Subcontracting Services Pty Ltd, we do wish to point out that clearly he was the main man behind these companies, making all the decisions, and being the head point of contact in the construction progress meetings between Octane, Case Meallin, Walsh Group, S.H.A Premier Constructions and Norman Disney & Young Architects. He was, I believe,

the person in effective control of the company.” “The simple reality is that “phoenixing” isn’t hard to do because of the gaping hole in the law which allows individuals to set up companies without any requirement to provide identification. There are also clearly other gaps in the law that need closing regarding insolvency laws and creditors security on liabilities owed to them. “Not one of the creditors listed would like to see another honest hard working Australian go through the heartache of seeing their life’s work destroyed by people like Frank Nadinic.” We hope people listen to Sally and knowing Frank Nadinic’s record, do not work for him or any company he is involved with.
