The former chief executive of The Wiggles – who left after just over a year into his role – has lodged proceedings in the Federal Court of Australia against the popular children's entertainment group.
Luke O'Neill was named the music sensation's first CEO last year, according to aNb Media, with his role focusing on 'expanding The Wiggles' digital footprint, developing new products and expanding the commercial operations of the business'.
O'Neill had worked as a consultant with The Wiggles since mid-2023 before stepping into the new role.
His LinkedIn profile states he finished the role in August 2024.
In a Federal Court application filed this week, O'Neil has lodged proceedings under the Fair Work Act against The Wiggles, the group's leader, Anthony Field, and its general counsel, Matthew Salgo.

Tobiahs Releases Debut Project 'TO YOU, BY US (VOL. 1)
15 August 2025 After amassing tens of millions of views and over a billion streams across his recent releases, and fresh off sold-out tours across the US, UK, and EU, Naarm-based Lebanese-Australian dance producer Tobiahs today releases his debut body of work: an 8-track project titled TO YOU, BY US (VOL. 1). For Tobiahs, connection has always been at the heart of his artistry. Over the past few years, the producer and DJ has cultivated a devoted community, one that doesn't just listen to his music, but helps shape it. With TO YOU, BY US (VOL. 1), Tobiahs puts his community at the heart of the project. Each track is a fan favourite, chosen through real-time feedback, and the collective voice of his audience. It's the first in a series of projects shaped entirely by the people who know and love the music most. The eight tracks capture moments that have lived and breathed across Tobiahs' different communities - whether it's sample suggestions from fans in his DMs and Discord or late-night YouTube dives shared on Twitch. Each song holds a story of connection, chosen not just for how it sounds, but for how it resonates with the people who helped shape it. 'These are the songs my community backed - from sharing clips of me testing them at shows to jumping into Twitch sessions and dropping feedback in real time. So much of what I create is shaped by the people around me, and this project is a direct reflection of that.' - Tobiahs Today's release features new single 'Before You Broke My Heart' a track that was first debuted live by Tobiahs at his 004 Melbourne show and has had fans eagerly requesting its release ever since. It's a beautifully melancholic track that features soulful piano and vocal performances over a bouncy house beat, showcasing Tobiahs' softer side while maintaining energy for the dance floor. The project also includes Tobiahs' recent breakout releases, including the freshly dropped 'Cross Your Mind', and the massive 'Lifetime', a track that has amassed over 75 million streams, gained support from Tiësto and Keinemusik, and climbed to become the #1 global trending sound on Instagram. It also includes the back-to-back 90s soul-inspired house anthems 'Alone' and 'Angel of Mine', the latter of which has charted in the UK, hit the Top 20 on Australian national radio, and received strong UK airplay across Capital Dance, KISS, and BBC Radio 1. This run of success has been matched by widespread DSP editorial support, including a #1 spot on Apple Music UK's Dance XL and the cover of Massive Dance Hits. In under 18 months, Tobiahs has clocked over 125 million streams and 58 million social views, with sold-out headline shows across London, Delhi, and Toronto, and a debut of his new live show to more than 5,000 fans across Sydney and Melbourne. This project isn't just a personal milestone; it's a community artefact. TO YOU, BY US (VOL. 1) celebrates the power of direct artist-to-fan relationships. Tobiahs' sound lives in the tension between euphoria and melancholy, intimacy and energy, rooted in club culture but grounded in emotional storytelling. It's this duality that has cemented his place as one of the most compelling new voices in Australian electronic music.

AI boom in Australia: Amazon investment sparks debate on artificial intelligence and housing shortage
But what do we actually get for the money? Just data centres. If I was making a list of things Australia should be doing with concrete and air-conditioning, it would not include making data centres. What we need desperately, what we are horribly short of, is homes. House prices are zooming up, and not just from speculation. We've had huge inflation in the cost of building. Building a house from scratch costs around A$500,000, depending on its size and location. Maybe as much as a million bucks. And the inflation data tell us that price is up 39% compared with 2020. Even renovation costs a bomb. Chucking a renovation on a small old home is now an A$500,000+ activity. Jeff Bezos' Amazon wants to build data centres in Australia. Photo / Getty Images Why is building houses expensive? For a lot of reasons. One is the tradie shortage. Prices for getting the plumbing and wiring and framework of a house all put in are up sharply. Concrete slabs cost a fortune now. Australia needs new homes. Photo / Getty Images When it comes to these data centres, Amazon is supplying the capital, the money, which is nice. But money is not something Australia is super short of. We have trillions in the national superannuation fund that's just plonked in the sharemarket. (In fact, we have more super funds than the whole sharemarket is worth, so we now have to invest in other countries' sharemarkets too.) What we are short of is skilled people. Unemployment is at a historically low 4.3% right now. Unemployment among trades workers (people whose last job was in the trades) is about as low as it has ever been. You build a data centre – it doesn't cause the plumber tree to magically make more plumbers. The result is some fella driving his Ford Ranger to the data centre site instead of a site where they are making a new suburb. He spends the day plumbing server air-conditioning systems instead of dunnies. We get fewer workers in the home-building industry and fewer new homes. Large language models In a perfect world, we would be trying to allocate all our spare workers to making homes – and reallocate the workers who aren't spare to that task too. But instead we will be allocating them to meet the needs of large language models. Artificial intelligence (AI) has lots of different tricks but the most popular ones are language models, where you ask it a question and it tells you an answer, like GPT-5, the newest update that came out this week. Large language models are trained on published materials (including my articles on the internet, which I think is quite cool, and my book, which they pirated and I'm cross about). So far, large language models are kind of stupid, giving lots of wrong answers to easy questions, making things up, etc. But anyone making definitive judgments that AI is therefore pointless is engaging in wishful thinking. The pace of change is breakneck. Just because AIs hallucinated and couldn't draw fingers six months ago does not mean they still suck now. The future is yet to be seen. AI could turn out to be useful. (In fact, Waymo uses AI to drive its driverless cars and the early data show they crash way less than people.) But AI is a gamble and the payoff for the gamble will go to Amazon. Whereas making some more homes is a pretty sure bet that would actually help Australians, especially the increasingly large cohort who do not own a home. Less than 50% of 30-34 year olds owned a home at the last Census, down from 68% 40 years earlier. The AI bulge The following chart shows capital expenditure by the IT industry in Australia. It gives us a little glimpse of the foothills of this AI investment boom, which is set to grow even more. Private new capital expenditure and expected expenditure in March 2025. We are already spending three times as much as a few years ago. Not to mention more than in the year-2000 dotcom bubble. This is the other big concern about AI; if the huge investment doesn't pay off, there could be a big market crash. As in 2000, firms will have spent a lot of money on an idea that will pay off eventually. But it won't pay off soon enough to prevent a crisis of confidence, a market downturn, a crash in capital expenditure and an economic slowdown. This is another risk we invite on our shores when we welcome Amazon's capital expenditure. There are a lot of people worrying that AI will bring about a terrifying technological singularity, where it uses its own intelligence to make itself ever smarter and then destroys us. I think there's not nearly enough people worrying that AI will just grind us down by distracting us from building the things that will actually make us happier.

Spark sells majority stake in data centre arm
In this newsletter: Spark sells 75 percent of data centre business Motorola releases range of satellite ready handsets RCG wins social impact award One NZ climate goals get international backing Pacific Equity Partners takes majority data centre stake Australian private equity firm Pacific Equity Partners (PEP) has purchased 75 percent of Spark's data centre business. The transaction is made up of $486 million in cash and an additional $98 million if the business meets performance targets by the end of 2027. Spark says it will use the money to pay down debt. The deal values Spark's data centre business at around $700 million. Spark CEO, Jolie Hodson, says, 'Through this partnership we will realise value for our data centre assets in the short term, while also continuing to participate in the growing market through our 25% retained stake – creating further value for our shareholders over the long term.' Standalone data centre business Hodson says Spark's data centre assets and operations will be moved into a new standalone business. Its working title is DC Co. The new firm will have its own board, management team and finance. Private equity firms like PEP rarely hold on to assets long-term. Which suggests it could prepare the business for a future trade sale. For now, DC Co has 11 data centre sites across New Zealand and 23MW of capacity. There are advanced plans for a new development at Dairy Flat on Auckland's North Shore and extensions at the company's Takanini site in South Auckland. New Zealand data centre projects On paper there is a wave of investment in new data centres in New Zealand although some projects appear stalled. AWS formerly promised it would open a major data centre in 2024. It has yet to deliver and there are reports work at the site has halted. Meanwhile DataGrid's planned $2 billion investment in a Southland site along with a new submarine cable is still waiting for its resource consent. For Spark, the deal is an opportunity to reduce the company's $2.7 billion telcos like Spark have struggled to remain profitable in the last two decades. Digital services mean the lucrative parts of the business are hollowed out as customers switch to cheaper alternatives. Meanwhile, regulatory and government pressure to make telecommunications more competitive mean lower margins in mobile and broadband. When Spark first announced it was looking for a data centre partner in February, Spark chair Justine Smyth warned: 'The scale and pace of deterioration in trading conditions we have experienced over the last year has been substantial'. Motorola introduces mobiles with One NZ satellite support motorola edge 60 fusion. One NZ has begun selling four new Motorola mobile phones. All models are 4G and 5G compatible and can work with One's direct to mobile satellite service. The top of the line motorola razr 60 is a $1400 flip phone. Also new this week are Motorola's $800 edge 60 fusion and the $1300 edge 60 pro. The company bills it $430 moto g56 5G as a 'no fuss, durable phone'. Also on sale at One NZ is the $226 moto g05. In 2016 the Motorola brand was picked up by Chinese computer maker Lenovo. Until last year the brand has been invisible in New Zealand although it was once a popular brand with models such as the moto x. One of the features that stands out is the phone's te reo Māori functionality and a fully localised te reo user interface. In other news...

RCG wins infrastructure social impact award The Rural Connectivity Group won Infrastructure New Zealand's 2025 Social Impact Award. The network-builder earned the award for its work bridging the urban-rural digital divide. Set up by Vodafone (now One NZ), Spark and 2degrees as a joint venture, the RCG has built 563 new mobile towers in rural areas and along regional highways. Its work even extends to the Chatham Islands. The RCG has connected 33,000 homes to modern communications technologies including broadband. In many cases users have a choice of service provider. One NZ climate targets gain global validation Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has verified One NZ's greenhouse gas reduction targets. The SBTi confirms the company's approach aligns with the 1.5°C warming pathway under the Paris Agreement. One is the first New Zealand telco to commit to absolute near-term cuts for Scope 3 emissions. The company says it cut combined Scope 1, 2 and selected Scope 3 emissions by 64 percent in the 2025 financial year. This include a 94 percent drop in electricity-related emissions after switching to renewable electricity. It says AI-powered network optimisation saved 16 gigawatt hours of electricity. One NZ's targets include cutting Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% percent and Scope 3 emissions by 42 percent by 2030. It aims to moving to 100 percent renewable electricity use over the same period.
