The top rating morning host bought the sub-penthouse in 2006 for $1.6 million. So why the firesale? On top of about $2 million in mortgage debt, Hadley’s company Raytrack Sporting Services has been slapped by the ATO with a whopping tax debt of almost $6 million, which he’s got two years to come good on.

That sounds to us like a pretty good reason to sue your bean counters.

Even on Hadley’s circa $2.5 million salary, it’s gonna be a steep repayment plan. And that’s before you factor in his legal costs and the hefty settlement he may have to pay Palmer.

We hear he’s even gone cap in hand to Macquarie Radio’s management to help him navigate his lean spell – the same mob he walked out on in February in the aftermath of the Palmer incident.

You can guess how that conversation went... Let’s just hope the former mad punter – and his pal Duck Creek – isn’t tempted back to the race track.
