๐ผ Budget Night 2025/2026 : Behind the scenes Yesterday, all eyes ๐ - and ears ๐- were on the 2025/2026 National Budget Speech, presented by the Prime Minister and Minister of Finance. As the speech unfolded, our office transformed into a hive of activity ๐, with teams gathered around screens ๐ฅ๏ธ, pens in hand โ๏ธ, ready to dissect every announcement, measure, and nuance. From economic forecasts ๐ to tax reform ๐ธ and sector-specific incentives ๐ญ, every new line prompted real-time discussions, whiteboard scribbles ๐ง , and a buzz of ideas. The atmosphere was electric โก - a shared sense of purpose as we unpacked the implications for our clients and the broader business community. While most had called it a day ๐, our experts powered through the night ๐, analysing the speech in detail to craft our signature Budget Highlights and insightful editorials ๐. While the coffee and energy drinks flowed โ, the unbeatable briani was a real success! Itโs this collaborative spirit and dedication that makes budget night more than just an annual event - itโs a moment where expertise, teamwork, and insight shine โจ at their best. Another successful budget night in the books! โ

With snacks in hand, boxes of pizza ๐ฟ๐ and plenty of laughs ๐, the CASS Team revisited a film that reminds us of the magic of friendship ๐ค, dreams โจ and living in the moment ๐๐ฅ. | | | | ๐ฏ The following job openings are currently available at ITL.

Thatโs like stacking 36 Eiffel Towers on top of one another! ๐ผ๐ โข The ocean produces over 50% of the oxygen we breathe โ thanks mainly to tiny plant-like organisms called phytoplankton. ๐ซง๐ฟ โข 95% of the ocean remains unexplored โ meaning we know more about the surface of Mars than we do about the ocean floor. ๐๐ โข The Atlantic Ocean is getting wider every year โ by about 2.5 centimetres, thanks to tectonic plate movement. ๐๐ โข The worldโs longest mountain range is underwater โ the Mid-Ocean Ridge stretches for over 65,000 kilometres, snaking around the globe like a submerged spine. ๐๏ธ๐ โข The Siphonophore, a deep-sea creature recently discovered off the coast of Australia, may be the longest animal ever recorded โ longer than a blue whale! ๐งฌ๐ โข Octopuses have three hearts, blue blood, and can squirt ink as a defence mechanism. Some species can even glow in the dark! ๐๐ง โจ โข The ocean is home to bioluminescent creatures โ like the Lanternfish, which use natural light to navigate and hunt in the pitch-black deep sea. ๐ก๐ โข Coral reefs, often called the โrainforests of the sea,โ support more species per unit area than any other marine environment โ and they are visible even from space! ๐ชธ๐ โข The Great Barrier Reef in Australia is the largest living structure on Earth and is even bigger than the UK, Holland, and Switzerland combined! ๐ | | BIRTHDAYS/NEWCOMERS/LEAVERS |
