Furniture and fittings from Broadbeach cabaret club The Pink Flamingo have popped up for sale online, a week after the company behind it went into liquidation.
A bag of wine glasses for $30, brassy birdcage chairs for $300 each, 30 distinctive pink velvet petal chairs at $320 each, a pink velvet bean shaped lounge priced at $350, and four bird cage style pendant lights for $300 are among the items listed for sale on Facebook.
Project 88 TPF, which operated The Pink Flamingo, was placed into voluntary liquidation last week.
Project 88 is directed by Pink Flamingo founders Sue Porrett and Tony Rigas, with a registered place of business at the cabaret’s venue at 88 Surf Pde Broadbeach.
The company found itself in a flap last year when it was ordered to pay $30,000 to two former staff in an unfair dismissal case.
The Pink Flamingo’s Broadbeach club is now operating through a new company directed by Mr Rigas’s partner Louise Huxham.
Its venue at Brisbane, The Pink Flamingo Spiegeland, is operated under a different company, Project 303 TPF, which has Ms Porrett and Mr Rigas as directors along with Peter Snee.
Documents lodged with the liquidator of the Broadbeach company show Project 303 is owed an unspecified amount by the company in liquidation.
Among the other creditors is the ATO, owed more than $2 million; the club’s security company; food and drink suppliers; a social photographer and cleaners.
According to the documents, the company was more than $157,000 behind in rent, owed more than $24,000 for alcohol and only had $4.84 in the bank when it went into liquidation.
