    Court
    High Court

    The debtor committed an available act of bankruptcy by failing to comply with the Bankruptcy Notice and is hopelessly insolvent given long‑standing and substantial GST and PAYE liabilities (now totalling $637,708.21) with no realistic ability to make substantial payments; accordingly the court must adjudicate her bankrupt despite sympathetic mitigating factors including weekly payments and community roles.
