Investigate Publishing faces liquidation
Investigate Publishing Australia is facing a liquidation order (search under "Investigate Publishing"), according to ASIC. I've tried calling Investigate Australia only to be advised by Optus that the number has been disconnected.
Trouble at mill? The Liquidator is allowing an extension of time for a report on affairs. Awaiting comment from Ian Wishart. Will keep you posted.
Update: Just spoken to the mag's former sales director who says Investigate Australia was never owned by the New Zealand operation but had private shareholders. He left some time ago. The launch announcement talks about the mags being part of a publishing group and mentions Ian Wishart as Group Managing Editor. Investigate's web site, however, says there's a new Australian edition coming soon.
Update 2: Ian Wishart says the consortium that published Investigate Australia ceased publishing earlier this year. In the meantime the NZ edition has been distributed there and a new Oz edition is in planning.

Nice juicy tale there Rob
How did you find out?
Did Helen tell you?
Like she told the SST about other Wishart dealings.
Anyway, keep digging mate.
But I do believe Helen needs a cup of camomile tea and a lie down.
The poor dear seems to be stressing out a little.
But considering a lying government brings out the rioters in Hungary and corruption brings a military coup in Thailand, I can understand her worries.
Had to smile when I saw Emerson's cartoon in this Morning's Herald.
But Dear Leader needs to end her hypocracy, dishonesty and, corruption and lies and PAY THE MONEY BACK!
Just had a peek at the website and Ian Wishart is recruiting writers for a new magazine.
Now, if freelancing for the SST doesn't pay enough, it is something you might want to consider :)
WANTED: WRITERS FOR A NEW MAGAZINE

Expressions of interest with portfolios can be emailed to investigatemagazine@gmail.com
Well, I know the NZ one anyway is owned by a company called Howling at the Moon...noticed it the other day at the magstand in Courtenay Place.
Good to see you back blogging Rob.
Darren, not to Liar-bour the point, you're right, it's all part of the vast left-wing conspiracy...
Blogging very lite at present...but still tempted to chuck the odd thing in.
I'm not sure who proved themselves more paranoid this week - Ian Wishart or Helen Clark.
Both disturbed me deeply over the past six days....
Yes, a lot of furfies flying. Personally I expect an opposition to use words like "corrupt" if there's even a sniff of it. If Don doesn't use that word early in the new session I'll be disappointed.
Similarly nothing wrong with Labour responding strongly ("cancerous, corrosive, divisive").
I have had some contact with Ian and do know he has some bigger plans for Investigate. I don’t think he’s going away any time soon.
