Judging by the established links between the Working Class Hero and Big Business Mates from Greg (Pokies: this is a scandal) to the all-out backing for John’s pulp mill, (Pocket Man) the moment Kerry Packer threw his weight behind Betfair was the moment Paul said, “Yes Suh.”
Now, watch for further developments. Already a million or so of the mates’ dollars have been thrown at the Interdominion in trade-off.
What else is on the cards … will Kerry firm up Tassie as his betting/gambling/racing playground. Will he and his Sydney mates establish various other racing/gambling complexii here.
Stay tuned. That’s the way, (Rough Red), racing/gambling Mate of the Rich and Powerful, Champion of the Workers (sorry that should read, Big End of Town), operates.
HAGNOTE: And, boy is the Public Service so politicised, now. There are, according to Rene, 70 odd ex-journo/spinners in the Media Office and in imbedded positions within the Public Service. And Hag has noted a subtle shift in their modus op. Once they simply courted the ear of Meedja to further their department’s profile. Gradually they are adopting the Central Media Office style of the berating/cajoling/occasionally abusive Minder.
Settle down, Boys and Girls.
