Zenith labour hire splashed money on pool, guns and palm trees

A major labour hire firm that collapsed owing millions of dollars in taxes spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on a swimming pool, guns, a spiral staircase, boat-related expenses, landscaping and stock feed in the years before it ceased trading, a court has heard.

Former Zenith Workforce senior manager Senad Kocic – who is now the director of labour hire firm Zenith Workforce Aust – told liquidators in Federal Court examinations he could not recall the payments but agreed he had installed a pool at his Sydney home and a spiral staircase was part of renovations at his wife’s rural property near Jervis Bay, on the NSW south coast.
