The rich have different rules to you and me

[Ausbt]

Oh. It's a Sydney Morning Herald article.

Your last para Hvr describes much of that paper's 'reporting'.

Totally. What a trash paper. I get my real news from the Daily Telegraph's stable of centrist, moderate journalists who can actually explain things in plain English (and that's the language we speak in this country, period). Occasionally I pick up a copy of the Illawarra Mercury when I want something more 'colourful'. But the SMH? What a bunch o' commie ratbag pinko leftists shoving their alternate-lifestyle general-talia down-my-throat-and-asking-me-to-like-it. I''m sick of their LGBT-vegan-bicycle-ridin'-Quinoa-eatin'-Kale-sandwich-Inner-West-elitists 'opinions' ruining my day. Bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-don't-get-me-started!

ROFL, hilarious and a great laugh. Centrist? Not by a long way. The far right wing News Corp papers speak perfect bogan which sadly many Australians do speak.

Yeah! I can't stand Kale.

What is your concern with LGBT issues? Is that an official position reflecting Ausbt attitude to LGBT issues?

Bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-don't-get-me-started!

Heaven forbid!

As for the written piece (whether it be opinion or reporting), I see through it. How do people attract a crowd? By playing the clown....and look at the crowd this clown has attracted here on AFF! :mrgreen:

Sounds like someone needs to consider a longish holiday in Argentina - where eating massive amounts of cooked dead cow is considered so "normal" they actually know how to (grow and) cook it correctly...

Happy wandering

I'm not sure I understand how you feel about Fairfax

Perhaps you should tell us how you really ​feel....

Shouldn't that be "... and look at the clowns this crowd has attracted here on AFF!" ???

The Sydney Morning Herald isn't as over-the-top as its sister paper, the Melbourne Age.

Sadly, both are now writing their way to oblivion.

You dont stay rich if you waste your money, couple of guys i know are worth 50 mil + and they fly red-economy at every chance

Take care of the pennies and the millions take care of themselves.

Then ozbeachbabe they die without a will and the relatives squabble over the loot for a decade using lawyers and their costs are borne by the estate.
Having a good balance between saving and lifestyle is a personal decision.
I lost a drinking partner last year and I will never regret the fine champagnes and reds we shared because we could.
He loved moving from economy to luxury flying and cruising and his bookkeeper latched onto travel ideas really quickly.

I would suggest the the "REAL" rich ( the worlds top ,5%) are more worthy of scrutiny than their poor cousins the multimillionaire.

I wish I could "like" a post multiple times. Well written and poignant sentiments with which I totally agree.

 

[get me outta here]

Perhaps we need a Royal Commission into this issue. We could waste yet more time and resources.

Irrespective of the merits of the arguments, some very funny one liners in here from Juddles and co. Witty!

Daily Telegraph? I liked your allusion to Rex 'Moose' Mossop. Well done; we all need heroes like that .
