Billionaire Bogans in Bondi Biffo!
A bidding war for photographs of Kerry Packer in a fist fight with Nine’s chief executive, David Gyngell, at Bondi beach is understood to have been won by News Corporation, which is believed to have paid more than $200,000 for the images.
According to our exclusive sources, News Corp put in a bid of $210,000 which was significantly ahead of the others, including the Gutter Trash which offered $20 and a MYKI card.
The pair were apparently photographed punching and wrestling each other outside the billionaire’s Bondi apartment on Sunday afternoon,according to reports.
The fist fight is thought to have broken out because Packer wrongly believed a Nine news crew in a live satellite van had waited outside his home.
There has been widespread speculation Miranda Kerr has been dating Packer, something Kerr has categorically denied.
Kerr arrived back in Sydney this week.
Our sources said Packer had called Nine’s chief executive, angry that there appeared to be a satellite truck outside his home. Gyngell investigated and assured Packer it wasn’t true and that there were no crews on such an assignment.
Gyngell apparently went over to Packer’s street to investigate and discovered that a cameraman who lived on the street had left the satellite truck locked outside his home, as is usual in between shifts. Gyngell waited to tell Packer in person but a fight broke out anyway.
The two men had peace talks on Monday morning and issued a brief joint statement through Channel Nine’s publicity arm:
“We have been friends for 35 years and still are. In that time we have had our fair share of ups and downs. We respect each other and neither of us will be commenting further.”
Packer was best man at Gyngell’s wedding to Leila McKinnon in 2004 and Gyngell was best man at Packer’s wedding to Erica Baxter in 2007.
A Bondi resident who says he witnessed the altercation tweeted about a “massive street fight” outside the Packer home and later described the fight on his Facebook page.
“Holy crap, big street fight outside my house … Not thugs, James Packer … And some other angry bloke going toe-to-toe – total brawl … Wow,” Chris Walker wrote.
“Packer packered a punch but copped a couple of hits straight to the jaw… Then they all fell on the concrete fence and I think the other guy broke his face … They were looking for teeth after he left.”
The Seven presenter Chris Reason tweeted: “I’ve just seen the pix, they are extraordinary. Gyngell bearded and barefoot, Packer black eye, both in head locks on ground.”
Our sources say the pair had been forcibly separated by Packer’s bodyguards.
“Both Packer and Gyngell retreated to their respective homes following the bust-up, and a short time later a person who appeared to be a medical professional attended Packer’s home.”
Gyngell was waiting outside Packer’s house early on Sunday afternoon, sitting on the boot of his car for about 20 minutes as the casino mogul was chauffeured home after arriving aboard his private jet at Sydney airport.
$20 and a Myki card. ROFLMAO 🙂 🙂 🙂
Headline should have read; “Billionaire Bogan’s in Bondi Biffo!”
Excellent suggestion EE, and implemented! 🙂
A $20 myki card? You could have off loaded that country & western cd to.

David Gyngell is a fair sort of surfer, therefore he’s more likely to pound the crap out of some fat boof head.
(not that there’s anything wrong with fat boof heads)
‘too’
(saving reb the trouble of pointing this out)
I wasn’t going to say anything.

Hi Eddy, good title idea.
it seems my abc is going to start inflicting `the-drum` on abc1 viewers, starting today, they have just said they will put the `packer-biffo` on, if anyboby`s near a telly
Apparently Packer’s bodyguards broke it up.
What’s the use of having neutral bodyguards? They should have pinned Gyngell while Packer took an easy punch.
Packer needs new bodyguards, ones who understand who’s paying them.

I see the brawl was directly opposite the Bondi Tratt – no wonder there were plenty of witnesses.
‘NSW Police have launched an investigation into the brawl between billionaire James Packer and media executive David Gyngell in Sydney’s Bondi beachfront on Sunday afternoon.
‘A spokesman for the force said the decision to formally launch an investigation was made this morning, after images and video of the incident were published by News Corporation Australia, publisher of The Australian.’

They look to me like they are doing their very best to keep packer out of trouble, trying to protect him from himself.

Mr-Rabbit has `constructed` a budget emergency that he can `save` the gullible and the tea-guzzlers from.
Haven`t seen the video, but was described to me, Gyngell threw the first punch, that caused the `black-eye`, Packer turned him into a punching-bag, Packer didn`t need help from `body-guards`, Gyngell did.

“The claim: Chris Bowen says Joe Hockey has doubled the deficit by changes to Government spending and changes to Government assumptions.”
Does it cross your biased brain that the current numbers are more accurate than numbers provided by the previous dishonest govt??
How many of their predictions came true?? In case you do not know WAyne Swan said in his second last budget we should be in surplus right now.
I would trust the newer figures than anything provided by that hate filled Treasurer, Wayne Swan.

it is much more important to maintain profits in teh-usa by purchasing single-use flying trashCans instead of governing `our` country to `our` needs, for `our` citizens,
aint democracy wonderful folks
These are the same guys who voted against the measures to stop the economy tanking at every turn for a GFC that apparently we didn’t have only to; NOT SURPRISE us with an “emergency” that they made up and a wait for it…. BIG NEW TAX that they sincerely would not, ( trust me i’m a catlick, never no way, labors fault ,we won fuck you all suckers, were grown ups… ) BREAK OUR PROMISES .right ho then 🙄 That Con Mission of Audacity seen so believable….
Yeah we believe everything they say Sqweel, because
you are such a gullible fucktardthey are sodishonest 🙄Debt ceiling increased….
Deficit added to…..
‘…the purchase was never really a debate about “if”, it was, “how many?”
Yeah, a bipartisan agreement to prop up Lockheed Martin is pathetic.
By the way these are the predicted surplus figures from WAyne Swans second last budget
http://www.budget.gov.au/2012-13/content/overview/html/overview_44.htm
2012-13 $1.5B
2013-14 $2.0B
2014-15 $5.3B
2015-16 $7.5B
Of course we are going to be in deficit. I would believe the figures provided by Joe Hockey than anything provided by Wayne Swan and Labor. Same goes for Bowen. Would not trust him in a million years.
We are not going to get the Wayne Swan predicted surplus budget figures. Would not surprise me if Swan politicised the whole Treasury.

Joe is a shady Liar Sqweel… what with the “budget emergency”..”dodgy slush funds”…. Fucking bent fiberal is eleventy. I wouldn’t trust him either pet, he has lied to you and all the poor gullible haters that voted for these incompetent, crooked, immoral liars….and that’s irrepressibly dishonest. I’m sure you’re SURPRISED and hurt by this BIG NEW TAX Have a tissue boo fucking hoo.
North Sydney Forum – a fundraising vehicle run by his North Sydney Federal Electoral Conference – charged annual membership fees of up to $22,000 for perks including “VIP” meetings with Mr Hockey. It gave donations to the Liberal party but does not disclose its doners
Speaking of lies this is a doozy from the former Treasurer of Australia. This from his second last budget

“The four years of surpluses I announce tonight are a powerful endorsement of the strength of our economy, resilience of our people, and success of our policies……………This Budget delivers a surplus this coming year, on time, as promised, and surpluses each year after that, strengthening over time.”
Those were the four surpluses budgets i posted at 8.33PM.
Wayne Swan is as bent as you can get. Like most Labor people, a hater and a liar.
I know you’re hurt Sqweel and I feel sorry for you, whta with all that betrayal by a fraudster who runs slush funds and the SUPRPRISE of voting for a catlick PM that vouches for a pedophiles character who he was in the seman any with. Why don’t you have a bex and a good lie down and try not to think about it sweetie. Maybe throw that picture of honest Johny you keep under your pillow overboard its probably confusing you as to who the BADDIES are 🙂
do try to move on neil, you’re in a time warp, new government, we’re looking at them now.
Indeed….
I refuse to further engage with Sqweels juvenile grasp of cut and paste economics which is a reduction of nothing more that a predictably consistent barrage of facile and insideous fact deficit hate laced shrill. Bit like one of those abrasive endless barking tape loops outside a $2 shop selling fake perfume and thin rayon socks.
Sqweel is incapable, of discussing the present government because he refuses to concede that they are not only fallible, but profoundly inept fibbers.
So faced with this stark reality, Sqweel reverts to the denial of going over old ground because he is compulsively looking to blame Labor for everything from baby Azaria to his inability to getting laid.
Sqweel is quite the incredulous bore. This morose plumeless parrot is locked in a small minded cage, convinced that shrieking the anti will disprove all detractors. The repetitive banging on infinitum over the same labored points worn and whittled beyond intolerable irrelevance is be pitied than despised.
I guess those of Limited news and Dolt opinion tend to perceive things in a limited way.
From this point forward I will not waste anymore than three words on Sqweel as that is all he seems to understand. NO SURPRISES THERE
“do try to move on neil, you’re in a time warp, new government, we’re looking at them now.”
I was just commenting on the allegation by Chris Bowen, posted by teabag, that the deficit has doubled under the Coalition since being in office.
So i am commenting on the current govt.
I would trust the numbers published by the current govt over numbers posted by Wayne Swan any day of the week.

Taxing the rich would have been more palatable underJulia’s watch.
‘Mr Truss declined to comment on the specifics of additional funding that would be allocated in the budget but said that “every community should see the benefits of this kind of infrastructure expenditure”.

I’m assuming he has rural commuters in mind and not just big city stuff, otherwise this mob will be screwed by the bush electorate.
What as opposed to taxing the poor? There ya go again Egg, what does that even mean?
Truss is a Hypocritical Pit street farmer, he voted to sell Telstra and bleated against the NBN while Harsuker (who did the same) stood in his own electorate and for photo ops praising it… Both of these knobs are pro CSG and anti alterante energy as are most of the The Nationals including Barnaby Rubble…. they say they are all about country folk while they circle jerk with the right wing free marketeers who decimate the very farmers they claim to represent.
People don’t take kindly to politicians that bulls**t.
Rudd won in 2007 because Howard was seen as expedient and dishonest. Gillard knifed Rudd because the powerbrokers/hacks thought he was being seen as a bulls**t artist. Rudd returned because Gillard was a bulls**t artist.
Abbott won because he said he wouldn’t be a bulls**t artist. But he is.
On the basis of history, he’s history.
‘There ya go again Egg, what does that even mean?’
When a Conservative government goes out of its way to tax the upper middle class to build infrastructure, while at the same time continuing to shelter those who are truly needy, seems odd.
‘….free marketeers who decimate the very farmers they claim to represent.’
The Nats are a diverse lot because its a big island and their interests vary, depending on the electorate. They are also a junior member of the Coalition, which doesn’t give them much clout.
I’m still banking on mass transport and the opening up of the land, otherwise they are dead meat.
“On the basis of history, he’s history.”
You could be right but we will have to wait until the May budget.
But do you really think Labor would be better economic managers???
Hawke/Keating took govt debt from 5% of GDP to 19% of GDP and we lost our AAA rating
Howard/Costello took debt from 19% of GDP to zero and we got our AAA back
Rudd/Gillard took debt from zero to 10% of GDP and we have one of the fastest increases of debt in the OECD.
We are now spending $12B/year in interest on the debt that Labor produced in 6 years. That would fund a large govt program.
They are also a junior member of the Coalition, which doesn’t give them much clout.
Neither can gain govt without the other, if all those national/country parties threatened to walk the libs would have nothing. There is a bit of a revolt happening in our long ignored rural electorates, they are prepared to go indie if it means better representation.
Makes an interesting dilemma for the coalition, all those opposing interests.
Irrefutably and undeniably so. Only halfwits with no capacity to differentiate anus meme to support their one sided blind hatred, barrack for bullshitters. Bullshit has only one flavor and the bullshit filter has been cleaned by the ICAC revealing the BADDIES
TWISTED FACT MEME
Absolutely we need more straight shooting No BS people who love their country and not the game like Tony Windsor and Rob Oakshot who were castigated for being shining pillars of political morality. Both personify what an honest politician serving their electorate and the common good with bipartisan issue based intelligence should stand for.
I don’t know why I continue to be surprised at the level of corruption in govt.
John Menadue. Penalty rates and Liberal lobbyists:
…There is a campaign underway to cut weekend and holiday penalty rates particularly in the restaurant and hospitality industries…
…The Commission is expected to report to Joe Hockey by April 2015. He is ministerially responsible for the Commission. He makes the references to the Commission…
…What is of concern is the political relationship between Joe Hockey and John Hart, the CEO of Restaurant and Catering Australia who is pressing for a review of penalty rates by the government. John Hart is also the Chair of Joe Hockey’s North Sydney Forum which has featured prominently in Fairfax media in recent days…
‘….politician serving their electorate and the common good with bipartisan issue based intelligence should stand for.’
Members do their best for the electorate they represent or they’ll be thrown out, but party room meetings force diversity of interest into some kind of unified policy to get absorbed into the Coalition platform.
That’s why there must be a sweetener in the Budget for the Nats to avoid Coalition collapse. Unlocking the land would be a good start, overcoming the tyranny of distance etc.

Rort nation:
…The one area of budget largess that is most in need of reform, most corrupting to the economy, most inequitable to the nation, and therefore most politically difficult to address, are the special tax dispensations offered to various interests in the economy: stuff like super concessions, negative gearing and salary packaging rorts.
The International Monetary Fund recently did a study of these rent-seeking tax giveaways and listed Australia as the OECD’s worst offender:…
…Eight per cent of GDP is some $130 billion in giveaways, none of which are being touched.
Tough budget? I think not.

Ricky – No BS people who love their country and not the game like Tony Windsor and Rob Oakshot who were castigated for being shining pillars of political morality
I’m afraid I have to disagree with you there Ricky. I’m in favour of good independents, and try to give them my first preference.
I’m not certain about Windsor, he seemed intelligent enough, but Oakeshott is entirely different.
I go to Port Macquarie quite a bit – it has nice surf without a crowd. I was there during the week of the election in 2010, so many houses and business displayed Oakeshott’s image, he was on the TV all the time, non-stop local paper coverage. He had more grass roots support that any other politician I’ve seen.
I was back there exactly a year later. People hated him, he was seen as a sell out, because Port Macquarie is a conservative regional centre – farmers, small business and retirees. His plummeting popularity had nothing to do with media attention, his own electorate turned on him because he failed to understand the nature of his own electorate. He was seen to side with the party that would give him 3 years tenure, rather than the one that might have called an early election when things got difficult.
People observed that his choice of support accommodated his personal interests rather than reflecting the basic orientation of his electorate.
He left politics because his reputation was trashed by his own decisions.
“the rurals wanted the NBN too”
Not quite. They want affordable internet access. And they would have had it by now if you didn’t vote ALP/Greens at the 2007 election.
The Howard govt signed a contract for Opel to build broadband for regional Australia. Conroy broke the contract after Labor won in 2007
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPEL_Networks
“OPEL Networks Pty Limited was a telecommunications provider that was to establish wholesale broadband services in regional areas of Australia in the form of WiMAX and ADSL2+ via a network of DSLAMs. The network was also to include terrestrial and undersea backhaul. The project is now defunct……………..On 2008-04-02, it was announced that the funding agreement had been cancelled.[9] The minister cited OPEL’s failure to meet the terms of the contract,[10] specifically that analysis of OPEL’s detailed maps revealed that it would reach only 72% of under-served premises, a claim refuted by the OPEL joint venture partners, who nevertheless stated that the project would not proceed.[11][12]

Palmer wanted to bar lobbyists from holding party positions because he argued it produced conflicts of interest – a move that would force Santoro out of his position as fund-raiser for the federal party…
…This was just the beginning. In Queensland, Palmer wants to develop his China First coal project in Queensland’s Galilee Basin but his plans have been blocked by the Newman government. Palmer is aggrieved not just with the state government but also with Aurizon (formerly QR National) which uses Santoro as a lobbyist…
hold on tight, it could be a rough ride!
#heads-up TB,
””””””’Palmer says the premier’s claims he tried to “buy” the Newman government are totally false and damage his integrity.
“These comments by Mr Newman can’t be allowed to go unchallenged,” he said.

What some people know about telecommunications and living in the bush you could write on a postage stamp with a broomstick dipped in their own shit…
I have worked at the high end of the Telecommunications industry for Telstra, Jtec, Scitec and Price Waterhouse,designed and project managed the Navy Voice, data, Image Network. This is in addition to owning a business in regional NSW.
I also have friends in TONY Windsor’s and Rob Oakeshott’s electorate. I have met them both and had the pleasure of speaking to Rob at length at a party in Port.

Clive is the new Lemon wedge and will keep the bastards honest (well he has quite a bent past himself) , but he has to be careful because he is sailing very close to the line in regard to pecuniary interests.
‘People observed that his choice of support accommodated his personal interests rather than reflecting the basic orientation of his electorate.’
That’s how I saw it too.
“had the pleasure of speaking to Rob at length”
At length sounds about right.
l agree ricky, #Go-Clive is the fly in the zombies ointment, and he has recently collected two more fly`s from the NT, and l think they are both refugees from the NT-teabags, which tends to show that the teabags are pissing off a more and more of their `own` members, l wonder how long before the nitnats get sick of playing second fiddle to Mr-Rabbit`s imbeciles, and seek an immigration visa of #Go-Clive 🙂
“I have met them both and had the pleasure of speaking to Rob at length at a party in Port.”
No doubt the length was due to Oakeshott, he’s that kind of talker.,
‘People observed that his choice of support accommodated his personal interests rather than reflecting the basic orientation of his electorate.’
That’s how I saw it too.

There are diverse views in every electorate, a majority may not want euthanasia, abortion or gay marriage. Then there is groupthink within the party, factions and the pressure of realpolitik. Career politicians need to go with the flow if they are to survive.

Well I was sitting next to him a a BBQ. Not quite sure what you mean by that.
Actually the opposite is true, He was asking all the questions. Talked about political history, media strategy (social networking blogespherics) and music. I was jamming with a local hot shot guy in the corner and like most they shut up when I have a guitar in my hand. Must say he is a really nice personable bloke and highly intelligent and not opinionated like most politico’s I have mixed with over the years. I really liked Tony Windsor as I said both are loved by their local constituencies , because thay are men of action not distraction despite what the fucktards big shitty Jouno’s say.

“You have no idea what you are talking about!”
Really?? Both sides of politics have agreed to purchase these planes. Are you saying they have no plan to provide the money for these planes??
I find that hard to believe.
” we just sent back the crews and asylum seekers of TWO boats in Australian waters to Indonesia”
OK they have stopped making it to Australia.
We can now start taking more people from UNHCR camps like we used to do under Howard instead of country shoppers we used to take under your heroes Rudd/Gillard.

There will be no new spending by taxpayers on the purchase of these planes, its a defence matter long mooted and bipartisan.

Ricky I have fallen in love with the robot girl in The Bridge.
Well yes and now. I have had lots of setbacks in my life but music and film have been constants that keep me happy. The main thing is it keep others happy and that gives me great joy writing and playing. Music has opened a lot of doors for me but like others here I have had to work very hard because every person and their dog is a guitar player….
Today I have been script writing for a international disability film competition with my mate who has cerebral palsy. He is a super intellect and a huge Python fan so its very Python and pays out on Lefties and Teabags. Generally how people treat him like an idiot. Those things are highly competitive but have big paydays if you crack it. My new film that will come out for the summer season is about a son dealing with his dad having Alzheimers and stars an 84 year old man…. Its better than working for those fuckwits at Price waterhouse I can tell you 🙂
I remember sending him an email during the gillard years and was surprised to receive a thoughtful, personal reply. I liked him.We actually talked about how many people had sent him letters of support (and hate mail) as I mentioned I sent one to him and Tony Windsor. He was quite overwhelmed by people from all over Australia and expats that pledged support, sent money. He said he used to read them occasionally when he was getting hammered by the Noalition mainly. He had great things to say about Gillard pragmatic, good listener, good stradesit, trustworthy and loyal. Good to her word. The opposite of what the teabaggs and no doubt Sqweel will bleat on about..
I have been around Polli’s all my life and they tried to get my father to go into politics. Its a dogs life for an honest man, compromise and party games. Bugger that, i’d rather charm cute ladies and make people forget about life and smile, even if its for one night.

From experience i have found is that ALP supporters cannot tell the truth. So i will assume these F35’s are in the budget until proven otherwise.

By the way TB says F35’s are not in the budget.
Is this true??
there is no value to most taxpayers giving the billionaires endless loopholes in the tax-system either dumpty, if you want to run the `no-value` argument, that`s the place to start,
and as we were talking about `news` in/out of china, none of the `other-players` have anywhere near the credibility in accuracy, fairness and responsible governance that my ABC has, so your `end-game` decision is choosing between 1.my-ABC or 2.None, (no 3rd choice)
I won’t even dignify that with an answer. Sufficed to say that Julie thinks it can all be done via facebook and they may have just killed one of the historically biggest content deals that the ABC has ever secured… I have a friend negotiating a 6 mill 10 episode Aus Doco series on the back of that deal… What Rupert wants he gets out of this lot… The VChinese fucking hate Ruepert, with the whole Wendy Tang thing and his dealings with them and Star TV… 😦
Shit two ex wives and I broke up with my girlfriend last year… Nah I’m enjoying being single. I have lots of female friends and there’s the girl I want but cant have. Usually on the road I meet lots of nice ladies who are newly single. What can I say both me and the bass player have had our hearts broken so..back on the bike (not the town one). He fares better than me because he is Famous (was on countdown and stuff) :..
The Alzheimer’s film is a tearjerker. Its aimed to speak to people over 40 who are going on that Journey. Did lots of research and Lots of people were keen to share their experience. Its a very common thing so Its touching. A famous director mentored me when I was making it and said don’t be the guy who fucks up an alzheimer’s film…. Thanks no pressure coming from a guy who’s last film stared Renee Zellweger 😦

He may have lost out, but the taxpayers are happy. Personally I would have culled the journalists as well, like Fairfax has done.
#2.none, for rupert loving cranks maybe, the rest of Aust a big loss, as another nation would gain that position dumpty

This is debatable.
‘….bound by charter to tell the actual truth as opposed to spread propaganda.’ 🙂
News organisations bend reality with collective bias, in that regard the burnt hands of asylum seekers was just a made up story. So you can appreciate why Abbott wants to cull aunty.

neil also needs to apologise for making out that the libs work produced the AAA rating we have now.
…Howard/Costello took debt from 19% of GDP to zero and we got our AAA back…
http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/3742298.html
…There are also some inconvenient facts that undermine Costello’s commentary. Never once during the Howard government during which Costello was treasurer for the whole time did Australia achieve the triple-A credit rating from all major credit rating agencies. With Fitch moving Australia to triple-A last month, Australia for the first time ever has the trifecta of triple-A from all three agencies. This is a truly magnificent endorsement of Australia’s economic position and management over many years so little wonder Treasurer Swan was Euromoney’s Treasurer of the Year…
…It is also worth looking at what Costello said in 1999, shortly after the budget and in reaction to a ratings upgrade for Australia from Standard & Poors.
He quite rightly said:
“This is a recognition by an international ratings agency of the strength of the Government’s budget policy. As the ratings agency announced, it’s a consequence of good economic policy and it means that Australia is again being regarded internationally as a very strong economy”
He went on:
“It also means that Australian companies will find it easier to borrow at lower rates. It will be good for economic growth and that will be good for jobs in Australia…it’s a consequence of long, hard, good economic work by this Government and it shows the benefits that economic reform will have.”
Costello does not use such words now even though Australia’s sovereign rating is now better than back then and better than at any time in history, including the 11 and a half years he was Treasurer.
labor didn’t have the luxury of frittering away once in a generation tax $ on middle class bribes for votes like the libs did, they had to contend with the structural deficit they inherited from howard/costello as well as the immediate financial tsunami of the GFC.
The libs would have introduced austerity measures which would have seen us go down the gurgler.
neil will pop back again trumpeting his same spoon fed lib propaganda as if it were fact…or will have an immature little tanty full of “everybody hates me, nobody loves me, think I’ll go and eat worms, I hate youse all, you’re all liars nah, nah, nah” 😛

Stuck my head over the kaf fence and didn’t see Neil, but heard Lovo say he was once a ‘swinging voter.’
Taylor has a post up on a survey and he thinks Labor Party voters are not aware of the importance of ‘onshore processing’ in the asylum seeker debate. Here is the conclusion to the survey.
‘One of the main points to take out of the 2014 Vision for Australia Survey of Labor supporters is the importance of substantial engagement with supporters on the issues of policy & representation. Supporters frequently highlighted their desire to engage with Labor in terms of policy discussion, and choosing who their elected representatives.
‘The policy areas of importance to supporters, namely healthcare, climate change, the NBN & schools funding, were policy areas already championed by the Party. Opening up the election of the leader of the Labor Party to members was also viewed favourably by supporters, and indicates that efforts already taken to engage with members in a substantial manner are a first step on the path to meaningful and productive supporter engagement.’
