A large sum has been paid out to a family of three who have been stranded in remote Darwin, Western Australia, for decades as a result of Australian-made signs being stuck in sand.
Ke카지노 사이트y points Australian company signs deal to pay $200K compensation to Darwin family
It is to be paid by the Australian Building and Construction Commission in the form of a share of its corporate income바카라 tax share
Adelaide group signor Robert Dickson worked for the company for 15 years and left at the end of 2013
Mr Dickson’s family was entitled to $20,000 in compensation for the time he spent building the signs, which appeared on the town’s buildings and homes.
