This $29b US tech firm wants to shake up Australian superannuation
Nasdaq-listed SS&C Technologies has grown its staffing levels by more than five times in less than three years as it readies to fight market leader MUFG for lucrative administration work for the nation's largest superannuation funds, says its local chief executive.
Shaun McKenna said the $29 billion company would employ 2000 people in Australia from July. Two-and-a-half years ago it was just a nascent office with 300 staff.

But Austal, which is backed by the billionaire Forrest family and has long pushed back against Hanwha's interest in acquiring the company, accused the Korean conglomerate of misrepresenting the approvals.

PEP finds a perfect private-equity target in ASX darling-turned-dog
It's funny how life works. Late last month, news broke that Scott Didier, the managing director and talisman of ASX-listed building group Johns Lyng Group, had spent a staggering $140 million to buy one of Australia's most iconic pubs, The Beach Hotel in Byron Bay. Two weeks later, Johns Lyng, in which Didier holds an 18 per cent stake, is in the sights of local private equity giant Pacific Equity Partners, in a deal that could value the business at just over $900 million.

US government throws more weight behind Dateline rare earths
Dateline Resources has scored another major political win in its bid to develop the Colosseum rare earths project in California after United States Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum publicly backed the mine's revival in a national television appearance. Appearing on Fox News over the weekend, Burgum, who is also chairman of the powerful National Economic Development Council (NEDC), declared the restart of the Colosseum project as 'pivotal' in securing America's critical mineral future. The Secretary underscored the importance of reducing US reliance on overseas rare earth supply chains and spotlighted the Trump administration's mission to ramp up domestic mineral production. Shortly after, Dateline's management met with Burgum in Washington DC, where federal support for the Colosseum project has been put on the fast track. The Secretary has directed the NEDC's top brass to coordinate efforts across US government agencies to expedite the project's development, effectively giving Dateline the green light for federal-level collaboration. Dateline's fully owned Colosseum project sits in California's Walker Lane Trend and already has a juicy gold resource of 27.1 million tonnes at 1.26 grams per tonne for 1.1 million ounces of gold. Last month, the company upped the gold price assumption on its gold project scoping study to US$2900 (A$4461) per ounce to deliver a whopping net present value of US$550M (A$846M) and a healthy payback of just 19 months. The project's potential for a rare earths discovery has lit up the government's radar, given its striking geological similarities to the US's only active rare earths mine - the nearby fabled Mountain Pass mine. Dateline is wasting no time capitalising on its moment in the sun and already has plans underway to start drill testing Colosseum's rare earths potential. The company pointed to the strong federal support as a massive boost to accelerate the project's permitting, environmental studies and project approvals, potentially shaving years off its development timelines. Dateline's strategic position, 10 kilometres from the Mountain Pass mine, also puts it in a prime spot to plug into existing infrastructure and logistics. This would be a huge advantage in the rare earths game, where processing options often cause a major bottleneck. With Washington on side and drilling on the horizon, Dateline could soon find itself sitting atop a dual-purpose gold and rare earths powerhouse – one with the full weight of the US government behind it.
