McGrathmageddon haemorrhages red ink

Oh dear:

It’s in a trading halt owing to “a pending announcement regarding recent media comment in relation to Mr McGrath” so not sure what the market makes of it. It makes sense to flush the bad news with the old executive team so we might see a bounce here but I still can’t see anything but earnings downside as property prices fall in the key cities and development comes under intensifying stress.

And what’s Mr McGrath going to announce?
