David Richards’ 4Square Media settles ATO dispute following court action
4Square Media, publisher of SmartHouse Magazine, Sound Mag, Channel News and Click Magazine, has reportedly settled with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) after proceedings were launched to wind the company up.
The company, founded by controversial journalist Dave Richards, was scheduled to appear in the Sydney Federal Court on March 28 after the ATO filed an application in February for 4Square to be shut down.

Richards: “I have a long history of breaking big stories”
