Doctor banned after facelift leaves patient ‘bleeding too much'
A Brisbane-based doctor has been deregistered after a patient seeking treatment for acne scars left the clinic in an ambulance with uncontrolled bleeding from a damaged artery. The patient had consulted Dr Shahram Sadeghi – who owned and operated Elinay Cosmetic Surgery in Grange at the time – on May 1, 2019, and was recommended a facelift for acne scarring in that session. The man took three weeks to fully recover after spending two days in hospital, and recalled falling in and out of consciousness during the procedure, at one point hearing the assisting nurse say 'he's bleeding too much' and 'this isn't right', a ruling from a Queensland tribunal stated. According to the court ruling published on Thursday, the patient said Sadeghi had reassured him he was qualified while recommending the treatment. 'Dr Sadeghi told me briefly that he had completed further training in order to become a cosmetic surgeon, but he didn't provide me with any specifics about this,' the patient said. '[He] said that cosmetic surgeons such as himself were just as competent, if not more competent, than a plastic surgeon when performing a facelift and that it was a bit of a 'battleground' between the two professions.' Loading The patient told the tribunal Sadeghi had visited him in hospital after the surgery, affirming he had 'done everything by the book' and mentioning the waiver the patient had signed before undergoing treatment. Six weeks after the patient had recovered, he consulted Sadeghi again to try to 'restore balance' to his face, after which Sadeghi offered free filler injections, which the patient accepted, according to the ruling.

‘Warning': Uni to pay back 5k staff $8m
Griffith University has signed a deal committing to repay underpaid staff more than $8m, becoming the sixth university to do so since 2022. Since 2015, the university underpaid 5457 staff across all of its six campuses, including academics, support and fitness workers – one who was underpaid as much as $92,400. It has signed an enforceable undertaking with the Fair Work Ombudsman, meaning it will be required to repay $8.34m including interest and superannuation. It is the sixth university to enter such a deal with Fair Work following The University of Melbourne, which last year agreed to pay back a mammoth $72m after a decade of wage theft. Since 2022, it has been a Fair Work priority to crack down on systemic underpayments in the university sector, with Latrobe University, The University of Sydney, the University of Technology Sydney, the University of Newcastle and Charles Sturt University all signing similar agreements. Fair Work Ombudsman Anna Booth commended Griffith University for self-reporting its breaches and its co-operation with the ombudsman's investigation. 'The matter serves as a warning of the significant long-running problems that can result from an employer failing to have appropriate checks and balances to ensure workplace compliance,' said Ms Booth. 'We expect universities to meet their legal obligations under their own enterprise agreements and underlying awards.' Griffith's failed to pay staff for activities including academic tutorials, subject co-ordination, and proper research assistant rates. Fitness employees were not paid split shift or meal allowances and progression between pay bands had been incorrectly paid. While the underpaid staff were located across all of the university's campuses, the majority were Brisbane-based. The cause of the issue was chalked up to insufficient training and data collection, non-existent payroll and data review processes, a lack of automation, and deficiencies in payroll systems. Under the agreement the university will also establish a new internal body to better consult between management, employees and the education union. 'Improving universities' workplace compliance is a priority for the Fair Work Ombudsman,' Ms Booth said. 'We look forward to working with the leadership teams at universities nationally to assist them to do the sustained, smart work required to ensure full compliance with workplace laws.'

'Let's get it on': Opetaia message after brutal defence
A Jai Opetaia right hook likely broke his latest world title challenger's jaw but the Australian saved his best shot for the man he wants next after a brutal title defence. The IBF and The Ring cruiserweight champion stopped the previously unbeaten Italian Claudio Squeo in the fifth round in Sunday night's Gold Coast duel. Body shots hurt Squeo in the fourth round before a right hook landed in the fifth and put the challenger on his haunches and feeling for his probable broken jaw. He moved to 28-0, Opetaia untroubled in what had loomed as a banana-peel clash for the Australian who has been unsuccessfully chasing bigger fights since first winning the belts three years ago. He and manager Mick Francis will travel to the United States next to sit ringside when WBA and WBO champion Gilberto 'Zurdo' Ramirez defends his belts later this month on the Los Angeles undercard of Jake Paul. It's a fight Opetaia's been chasing, a fact he made crystal clear post-fight. "I was just in a rush; I really wanted to get him out of here," he said of the gutsy rival. "I'm chasing these unification fights and it's frustrating. "Next fight, Zurdo Ramirez. Let's get it on. "The fight is easy to be made ... let's do it. "I believe I'm the best boxer in the cruiserweight division and that's all I want to prove." Earlier, Brisbane-based Irish favourite Conor Wallace saw off French campaigner Dylan Colin with a gritty, unanimous points victory over eight rounds. Moving to 16-1, the light heavyweight is ranked No.2 in the IBF standings and eyeing a world title shot later this year in a class headlined by Dmitry Bivol. Max 'Money' McIntyre, still just 20, set the tone earlier in the night with his sixth consecutive stoppage to move to 8-0. New Zealand's Ricaia Warren started strongly but the undefeated super middleweight connected with a clean combination to end the fight in the sixth round. "Welcome to the Money show, ladies and gentleman," McIntyre said. "I'm here for world titles, here for straps. I want to go down as the greatest of all time." Bangkok-based Australian featherweight Tyler Blizzard beat Rocky Ogden to win the IBF's Pan Pacific belt while Danny Keating badly split Blake Minto above the left eye and won all 10 rounds in their welterweight battle.
