Former Australian Olympic swimming team physio Peter John Wells accused of child sex offences

A former Australian Olympic swimming team physiotherapist accused of child sex offences allegedly spanning across several years has had his matter briefly heard in court.

Brisbane man Peter John Wells was arrested last month and charged with several offences including three counts of indecent treatment of a child under the age of 16.

Police allege the incidents occurred between 2002 and 2010 at the 51-year-old's physio practice in Kelvin Grove and a sports complex in Chandler.

Mr Wells, who is on bail, was meant to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court for the first time since being charged on Tuesday, but his appearance was excused.

His lawyer adjourned the case, and it is expected to be heard again next month.

Mr Wells has had an extensive career as a physiotherapist, including working for Swimming Australia for several years, and was part of the Olympic swimming teams at the Beijing and London Games.

He was also the lead physiotherapist at the Australian Olympic Team Headquarters Clinic at the Rio de Janeiro Games.

Tony Blair’s son built a $587m fortune

Tony Blair’s son Euan has an estimated paper fortune of £337 million ($587 million) after his Multiverse start-up secured fresh investments that pushed its value over £1 billion for the first time.

The Google-backed education technology start-up has secured a $US220 million ($305 million) investment to expand into the US operations, Multiverse said on Wednesday.

With Euan Blair owning at least 25 per cent of the company, its new valuation of $US1.7 billion means his shareholding is worth a minimum of £337 million. A company spokesman declined to say what Blair’s precise shareholding is but confirmed it is between 25 per cent and 50 per cent.

The latest fundraising means Blair’s shareholding has quadrupled in value, from around £160 million in September last year after a Series C funding round led to a $US130 million cash injection from US investors.

It comes just a week after Euan Blair was awarded his first honour, for services to education. It means he was given his first honour 30 years sooner than his father, who secured a knighthood at the age of 68 in January.

Multiverse is an apprenticeship training provider and jobs board, linking potential tech apprentices with employers. Founded in 2016 by Euan Blair, the company’s unique selling point is directly opposed to his father’s flagship

Tony Blair’s Labour government pledged that 50 per cent of all school leavers would go to university in a massive expansion of state-funded post-18 education.

Now, 15 years after his father stepped down as prime minister, the younger Blair has made hundreds of millions from picking up the young people left behind by that policy.

“Mandating degrees, and making admissions officers the gatekeepers for great careers, means leaving out thousands of talented individuals,” Euan Blair said.

“This funding will help us bring more people without degrees or in need of re-skilling into tech careers and ultimately create a more diverse group of future leaders.”
