Telstra recently renegotiated its deal with NBN Co, the entity rolling out the national broadband network. It will still be worth $A11.2bn but involve different technology, due to the September 2013 election win of the Australian Government. The telco will also benefit from a separate move by NBN Co to award it half or more of the design and planning contracts for the infrastructure project, and some construction work. Pending confirmation by Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Finance Minister Mathias Cormann, the agreements may be signed on 19 December 2014

A County Court of Victoria jury has found Keller Australia subsidiaries Frankipile and Vibropile guilty of failing to provide safe systems of work and adequate information, instruction, training or supervision. The two ground engineering companies will be sentenced by judge Peter Wischuse later in November 2014, over the death of Sonny Swaanebeck in May 2011. The 30-year-old had fallen 40 metres when a pile-driving rig at a Southbank construction site collapsed
