22 tourists were killed and another 25 injured.
Last year, Worksafe fined the company more than 500-thousand dollars for its role -- and ordered five-million dollars in reparations.
Now, the company's liquidators say business' insurance covered the reparations but not the fine - the only remaining liability.
They say the company ceased trading after the eruption, has no assets and action was essentially shareholder funded.
