Good afternoon,

Nine entertainment chief executive officer Mike Sneesby has abruptly quit the media giant after a "challenging" period involving sexual harassment and bullying allegations, the dramatic departure of chairman Peter Costello, worker revolt and a deteriorating share price.

Meanwhile, annual reports for national carrier Qantas show former boss Alan Joyce received $3.4m in the 2024 financial year, with more money to come, despite vacating his position in September.

And IGO boss Ian Vella has warned of "very volatile" lithium prices, with more infrastructure needed at a time when significant international producers face uncertain futures.
