7-Eleven has called on the ABC to share any information it has to assist in investigations into suspected ongoing wage fraud at a Brisbane store, saying it was “appalled” by the allegations raised.

7-Eleven’s CEO Angus McKay said there should be no doubt that the company has zero tolerance of wage fraud.
