Linking to the official record
Inside MECCA no longer hosts a duplicate PDF. The source button opens ASIC's official copy for Mecca Brands Pty Ltd, ACN 077 859 931, notice M01700495.
ASIC's related media release states that payment is not an admission of guilt or liability and that the companies are not regarded as convicted of the alleged offence.
How the collection was cleaned up
The same Pedestrian URL was supplied more than once, so it is logged once. An outdated Australian Payroll Association link was updated to the publisher's current article path. If a paywall or retrieval restriction stopped a complete review, the record says so.
