Apparel brand Oak + Fort to restructure amid tariff woes
VANCOUVER — Canadian apparel brand Oak + Fort says it has obtained creditor protection as it works to restructure the business. The Vancouver-based company says the move is necessary because U.S. tariffs have joined other price pressures and led to a decline in consumer confidence and spending. The tariffs arrived after Oak + Fort pushed to open 26 new Canadian and U.S. stores in the last four years, which the company says resulted in a reduced and ultimately insufficient investment in its e-commerce platforms. Court documents show the company owes more than $25 million to creditors including some landlords who didn't receive May rent payments. Oak + Fort says it will continue to operate stores and an e-commerce business during the restructuring. The retailer has hired Reflect Advisors LLC to assist with the restructuring. Oak + Fort was founded in 2010 as an online boutique that eventually expanded to 42 stores in Canada and the U.S. selling womenswear, menswear, accessories, jewelry and home goods.

Drivers warned major road rule change with $961 fines 'just weeks' away
Drivers are being reminded that a major road rule change is just weeks away, with penalties for breaking the law as high as $961. Millions of Aussies will be impacted by one state's move to protect roadside workers and operators of roadside assistance vehicles. From July 1, in just three weeks, motorists in Victoria will be required to ensure they are travelling at 40km/h when they pass the incident response vehicles. The rule, known as road rule 79A, is already in place for emergency services on the side of the road like police cars and ambulances. Now it's been extended to include tow trucks, mechanics and roadside assistance vehicles too. After South Australia recently made a similar change, Victoria was the only state, along with the Northern Territory, that didn't have the rule made official. Royal Automobile Club of Victoria (RACV) General Manager Makarla Cole told Yahoo News that the rule will "ensure that emergency roadside workers and tow truck drivers, regardless of who they work for, are given the same protection as other emergency workers." Those who ignore the rule will be fined for not complying with the 40km/h mandate. The standard penalty for non-compliance is $346 with a potential maximum of $961. There will be no demerit points attached to the offence, however. A recent survey by RACV revealed a startling 83 per cent of its roadside workers experience a near miss with another vehicle at least once a week. The road rule change has come after a consistent campaign from the group to bring Victoria in line with other jurisdictions. Patroller Johnny Dipietro, recently spoke out about the dangerous conditions he contends with while trying to do his job on busy roads. "I had a vehicle that almost hit me and I'll tell you what, it was really scary," he said. He's not the only one. Incident responder Steven Bevens said close calls were an "everyday occurrence for our staff" when pulled over on the shoulder of a busy road or highway. 🚗 Drivers warned as major licence change rolls out across Australia in days 🚛 Aussie truckie praises caravanners for simple road act that saves lives 🛑 Meaning behind little-known roadside marker popping up 'a lot' on Aussie roads VACC CEO Peter Jones backed the change. "With just weeks to go before the expanded Road Rule 79A takes effect on July 1, we're pleased to see the Victorian Government's commitment to roadside worker safety becoming a reality," he said. Jones said the rule change is about creating a "culture of mutual respect" on Victorian roads and encouraged all drivers on Victorian roads to "familiarise themselves" with the expanded rules ahead of July 1. "When you see those flashing lights – whether it's police, ambulance, or now our towing and roadside assistance vehicles – slow down to 40km/h. It's a simple action that could save lives," he said. He argued that roadside assistance workers are first responders too, and often the first on the scene, 'working in extremely hazardous conditions," he said, adding: "This rule change finally gives them the protection they deserve. Jones added that the rule isn't just about compliance but gives workers "vital extra seconds" to react if something goes wrong. "We urge all motorists to see this as an investment in everyone's safety," he said. Do you have a story tip?

'Haven't given up': minister seeks tariff breakthrough
Australia's trade minister remains confident tariffs imposed by the US will be removed, ahead of a likely meeting between Anthony Albanese and Donald Trump. The two leaders could meet on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Canada next week, with the economic measures imposed by the US president around the world set to dominate discussions. As Australia looks to negotiate for an exemption on tariffs, Trade Minister Don Farrrell was optimistic a deal could be reached. "I certainly haven't given up on the prospect of getting these tariffs removed, and every opportunity I get, I'll continue to pursue that argument with the United States," he told Sky News on Sunday. "There is no justification for the United States to impose tariffs on Australia ... we want all of the tariffs removed, not just some of them." Mr Trump recently signed off on doubling tariffs on exports on steel and aluminium from 25 to 50 per cent. All other Australian exports to the US have been slapped with a 10 per cent tariff. Senator Farrell met with US trade representative Jamieson Greer last week and said he pushed the case for all of the economic measures to be removed. The minister was hopeful a similar approach that removed $20 billion worth of tariffs on Australian goods entering China could be used with America. "We didn't retaliate on that occasion, and bit by bit, we managed to get all of those tariffs that had been applied on Australia by China removed. I'd like to do the same with the United States," he said. "It's only by open discussion, honest discussion with out allies in the United States that I think we can do that." As the US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth urged Australia to increase its defence spending by billions of dollars to 3.5 per cent of GDP, Senator Farrell said the federal government had already proved its commitment through the AUKUS submarine deal. Australia is looking to up its total spent on defence to 2.3 per cent. "We are committed to the defence of this country, we are committed to a significant uplift in the amount of spending," Senator Farrell said. "(AUKUS) is going to be a project that's worth more than $360 billion, so I think we've talked the talk." Prime Minister Anthony Albanese signalled on Friday negotiations on opening up access to US beef into Australia could be on the table as part of tariff negotiations. However, he said biosecurity would not be compromised in order to reach an agreement.
