Federal Court Justice John Dowsett has been told about liquidators' problems obtaining documents relating to Queensland Nickel, which failed last year with debts of $300 million, and the loss of 800 Townsville refinery jobs.

Mr Palmer's nephew, Clive Mensink, was the sole registered director of Queensland Nickel before it collapsed, but he's been overseas for nine months and has failed to comply with two court orders to return home for a court grilling by liquidators.
Liquidators will on Thursday seek an arrest warrant for Mr Mensink.
Justice Dowsett has mused he might be better off at home, given his apparent medical problems.
"It might be better if he came home, mightn't it?" Justice Dowsett said.
"Wouldn't he be better off coming home?"
Earlier, the court was told Mr Mensink had medical advice from the Boston Medical Centre to support his claim to have a medical condition that was disabling to him.
"We're dealing with a man who is said to have clinical depression and anxiety," Mr Mensink's barrister Alex Nelson told the court.
The hearing continues.
