Since COVID-19 pets, particularly dogs, have become an increasingly big part of our families and you needed no further proof for that than what happened in Townsville last night.

Jason Taumalolo from the North Queensland Cowboys ran out for his 201st game and greeted not just his partner but his dog as well.

Nawww.

An image we will probably see more of in the years ahead, as the “humanisation” of pets gathers steam.

Infinity Lithium (ASX:INF) -66%

The company, which has a lithium project in Spain, advised shareholders on Monday that the investigation permit application was cancelled.

While it said it strongly disputes the decision and will appeal to have it overturned, shares plunged on Monday.

 

EML Payments (ASX:EML) -36%

While the company is off its lows seen on Wednesday, it has still lost more than a third of its value this week.

Shareholders were told EML’s Irish payments subsidiary (PFS), received a letter from Ireland’s Central Bank (CBI) raising concerns in relation to its Anti-Money Laundering/Counter Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) risk and control frameworks and governance.

EML Payments says that the CBI is minded to issue directions that could restrict its activities but was currently engaging with the CBI in relation to its concerns.
