Canaccord's Peter Hollick enters stockbroking hall of fame
Peter Hollick's first job was as a Victorian public servant, but he worked out pretty quickly that stockbroking was a better option. Back in the late 1960s, sharing a house with six others in the Melbourne beachside suburb of St Kilda, Hollick recalls coming home from working at the Department of Labour and National Service and chatting to his flatmates. To a young Hollick, his two stockbroker flatmates had far more interesting jobs than his.

AFP calls for measured response to cybersecurity risks in company vehicles
The Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP) has called for a measured approach to addressing cybersecurity concerns surrounding company cars and vans, amid recent reports highlighting potential vulnerabilities. Citing recent media reports, the association cautioned about the potential for vehicles, particularly EVs and those manufactured in China, to be hacked or used for spying and espionage. AFP chair Paul Hollick said that there are legitimate issues to address, but suggested that these likely impact only a small number of fleets. He emphasised that the risks are minimal for most fleets, and taking action may not be necessary. Hollick said: 'Our feeling is that fleets should deal with this in a proportionate manner. If you are working in an industry where security is perceived as a less critical issue and are serving a similar customer base, then the possibilities of a problem arising are almost certainly slight. 'The concentration on EVs is probably unfair. Because they are new and tend to be among the most advanced vehicles on the road, electric cars and vans will be better equipped with the kinds of cameras and microphones that present risk, but there is no practical experience to suggest that they bring a higher level of jeopardy.' He also noted that several AFP members with extensive vehicle cybersecurity experience are willing to share best practice guidance to help address these concerns. Last month, AFP said confidence is as 'important' to boosting consumer demand in the used EV sector as pricing. Key confidence factors include proving the long-term reliability of EV batteries and ensuring charging is economical and accessible.

TV boss slams Gwyneth Paltrow's intimacy coordinator remarks as ‘irresponsible'
Gwyneth Paltrow 's recent remarks about intimacy coordinators have been criticized by former Channel 4 drama chief Caroline Hollick, describing the actor's comments as 'quite an irresponsible thing to say.' Last week, Paltrow said she had refused to work with an intimacy coordinator for her latest movie – even though she and Timothée Chalamet filmed 'a lot of sex.' The pair recently filmed Josh Safdie's new movie, Marty Supreme, about table tennis star Marty Reisman. 'There's now something called an intimacy coordinator, which I did not know existed,' Paltrow told Vanity Fair. Paltrow explained that when Marty Supreme 's intimacy coordinator asked her if she was comfortable with doing a certain move, she responded: 'Girl, I'm from the era where you get naked, you get in bed, the camera's on.' She said she ultimately asked the coordinator to 'step a little bit back.' According to Variety, Hollick, who now works for production company North Road, said at drama festival Series Mania: 'Every now and then an actor makes a comment over whether they like intimacy coordinators or not. Gwyneth Paltrow said she grew up in a time when [actors] 'took our kit off and got on with it.' 'As a powerful woman in Hollywood acting with a man much younger than her, well I'm sure [Chalamet] is chill but I thought it was quite an irresponsible thing to say.' Hollick continued: 'Bringing an intimacy coordinator on set empowers an actor because there is someone on side who is there to fight for them. 'Producers have an agenda, writers have an agenda and directors have an agenda. So having someone to back the performer is important.' During her time at Channel 4, Hollick oversaw hit shows including It's a Sin, Help and The Gathering. Along with Chalamet, Paltrow's sports drama — expected to be released in December — has a star-studded cast, including Fran Drescher, Tyler, the Creator, and Abel Ferrara. Paltrow plays the wife of Marty Reisman (portrayed by Chalamet), a professional table tennis player who won the US men's singles championships in 1958 and 1960. 'This woman is married to someone who is in the Ping-Pong mafia, as it were,' Safdie told Vanity Fair. 'They meet and she's had a pretty tough life, and I think he breathes life back into her, but it's kind of transactional for them both.'
