PARTIALLY because the group and the operator are proven and the direct legal owner is not. Answering YES would promote operator evidence to ownership evidence, which is the error this answer exists to avoid.
How Tally knows
Lion Beer, Spirits & Wine — LION-BEER, SPIRITS & WINE PTY LTD, ACN 008 596 370 — is a subsidiary of Lion Pty Ltd on Lion's own published entity list, holds the registered business names, and is the named liquor licensee. Kirin Holdings owns Lion. What none of that establishes is who legally owns the brewery business: business-name registration and a liquor licence prove trading identity and operation, and this archive does not infer owner from operator. White Rabbit has never had a legal company of its own: it began in 2009 as a trading name of Little Creatures Brewing Pty Ltd. The former operating company, Little Creatures Brewing Pty Ltd, had its ABN cancelled on 1 May 2019, and no public record shows where the business assets went.

What we still don’t know
- The current direct legal owner of the brewery business is not established. Lion-Beer, Spirits & Wine Pty Ltd is proven as trading company and liquor licensee, which is operator evidence; no share register, transfer instrument or ASIC extract proving ownership is publicly available.
- The ACN of the ASX-listed Little World Beverages Limited is not resolved between two Fremantle companies, ACN 081 128 225 and ACN 110 233 540. No canonical entity has been created for it.
