The great collapse one by one
Namour Transport. Brisbane. Second generation. Operating since 1982.
Forty three years of family sweat poured into building something that actually worked.
Gone.
Administrators were appointed in March. The second creditors meeting was held this month. The company is now under external administration with $12 million in debt.
This is not a business failure. This is what the industry looks like when government after government treats transport as background noise instead of the backbone of this country.
Fuel costs. Insurance. Compliance. Rates that haven't budged while every cost around them has gone through the roof.
These are not weak operators. These are families who built something from nothing and ran it for decades.
They didn't quit. The system ground them down.
Thank you for your transport service we are grateful.
