  Speaker 1: good morning to you. Thousands of retail jobs set to disappear.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: What's going on?
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, this is terrible news because a major fashion
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: retailer looks like it's well teetering on the brink of
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: going broke basically, so it's been placed under voluntary administration.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: It's a company called Mosaic.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: It does run quite a number of long established fashion
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: stores across Australia. We're talking Miller's, Rivers, Katie's and nony
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: B and it is going to continue to trade in
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: the lead up to Christmas, we're being told, but administrators
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: have been brought in to look into the business.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: This could impact about two.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Hundred and fifty jobs at head office in Sydney, but
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: also two and a half thousand jobs across the nation.

  Speaker 2: a lot of people who don't know.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: If they'll have a job afterwards.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: But the company says well, voluntary administration was unfortunately the
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: most appropriate way to try to restructure. So they're hanging

  Speaker 2: on but not sure what the future holds for lots
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: of people.

  Speaker 2: that were out there searching for her, and for la
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Visa Schoburg, a woman who moved to Australia from Sweden

  Speaker 2: and then four days later she was found.

  Speaker 3: After that bite, she's also.

  Speaker 2: in a stable condition.

  Speaker 3: One searcher said it was like.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Looking for, as they put it, a pinhead in a haystack.
