Why Firmus went softus. The roughly $50 billion Firmus float is withdrawn after doubts from super funds, brokers and the press, with a prospectus held back from professional investors until the last minute. Promoter Oliver Curtis and an early-investor rat pack stood to profit big-time. Greens senator Barbara Pocock says Labor’s spend on KPMG nearly doubled from $32 million to $59 million. Greens leader David Shoebridge is labelled polarising, prejudiced and morally repugnant by outlets, a Labor MP and the shadow defence minister. #auspol
