Craig WilkinsConservation SA CEO Craig Wilkins has slammed the potential $600 million price tag to investigate the idea of SA permanently storing high level radioactive waste from around the world.

Mr. Wilkins was responding to media reports that a consultant working on the Royal Commission has revealed that the State Government will need to find as much as $600 million to plan a nuclear waste dump - even if the project never gets off the ground.

"$600m is an extraordinary amount of money for taxpayers to spend on an idea that is very unlikely to proceed in the face of significant community opposition,” said Mr Wilkins.

Simon HackettRedflow Limited (ASX:RFX) on Friday announced senior management changes as the company prepares for the first deliveries of ZCell residential flow batteries in Australia.

The Redflow board has appointed Executive Chairman Simon Hackett as acting Chief Executive Officer while fellow board member Richard Aird was named acting Chief Operating Officer.

Redflow announced these appointments after Stuart Smith resigned as CEO following his successful outsourcing of the entire battery manufacturing process to Flex. Mr Smith joined Redflow in 2012.

Redflow director Howard Stack, who was chairman for much of that time, said the company was grateful for Stuart Smith's leadership during the past four years. "Stuart has led Redflow during a period in which it transformed a promising technology into a world-class battery and outsourced manufacturing to Flex," he said.

"The company is now embarking on the next phase of its development, and with Stuart's departure we have appointed Simon and Richard as acting CEO and acting COO to oversee the delivery of ZCell batteries in Australia and to identify the leadership team to deliver Redflow batteries to the world."

Daniel LangelaanNational health agency Alcohol and Drug Foundation has posted record growth since Melbourne-based Evolution Business Systems (EBS) installed the Microsoft Dynamics NAV financial software.

Alcohol and Drug Foundation (ADF) has grown from $8 million in turnover four years ago to $12 million this year and may grow by as much as 50 per cent this financial year. ADF, which employs 100 people, runs programs and services in each state and territory to reduce the more than 5000 deaths and 150,000 hospital admissions caused each year by drugs and alcohol.

ADF Chief Financial Officer Daniel Langelaan said Microsoft Dynamics NAV had enabled ADF to grow rapidly. “Growing at this rate using our old system would have been a huge risk,” he said. “We expect the organisation to grow significantly again this year, possibly by as much as 50 per cent, but our finance team won’t require extra people. With development of the NAV system, we can gain a whole set of new efficiencies through workflows, document management and automation.”
