The operator of Australia's Dreamworld theme park has been charged with safety breaches over a water ride malfunction that killed four people in 2016.
Kate Goodchild, Luke Dorsett, Roozbeh Araghi and Cindy Low died almost instantly when their raft collided with another and overturned, crushing them.
A coroner's inquiry later found there were "unfathomable" errors with safety at the park on Queensland's Gold Coast.
Authorities have filed three charges against parent company Ardent Leisure.
Each charge carries a maximum penalty of A$1.5m (£800,000; $1m) under Queensland's Workplace Health and Safety Act.
