And youre a horrible whore, in other news richard pratt was jewish and
On the 10th of October 2007, Richard Pratt was formally accused of price fixing, cheating customers and companies out of approximately $700 million Australian dollars in the nation's biggest ever cartel case.[17] The ACCC alleged "very serious contraventions" of the law and that these had been "carefully and deliberately concealed" by Pratt. |

And the charges were withdrawn. He was an astute businessman that never missed an opportunity for growth. Props.

while i think it is fine that the drop charges against the man since he was ill and on death's door, what about the charges against the company that he ran? this company has allegedly colluded with its competition to price gouge other companies, which then pass on the costs to consumers. it is alleged through this arrangement profits for the company was increased. where are those charges? |

The company got fined 30odd million dollars, but apparently they made more from the price fixing, they are still on top. People with this kind of money never go down, its just the way of the world.

Are you sure? I think he just did He died with all his money, and his family for generations set for life, he went out on top, and he got a bit of extra cash for running an illegal price fixing cartel, for which the punishment was less than what they stole. its like if you steal a $30k car and they fine you 5k, but you get to keep the car. |

I don't know....
I'd be happier knowing I was going to die a very rich 74 year old, rather than at a young age through some freak skydiving accident or accidental self inflicted knife wound. |

i think it's pretty good for a deaf guyIf you think about it for a second, being deaf has sweet f*** all to do with sentance construction. Its especially retarded that a deaf person should have such a crap grasp of written communication because it is their strongest method of communicating with non-deaf-non-signing peoeple. (unless they have managed to learn to speak as some deaf people do) |

I don't know....Bah, what a boring way to live. If you die, you die... living long average lives is overrated. I won't die skydiving :) We'll see how I go later this year when I start BASE. |

death from sky diving accident should = quick death
death from prostate cancer = not so quick I'd take the quick one. |

They were crapping on about how he was generous case he gave about 14mil a year to charity which doesnt seem much to me for someone worth 5 billion.
Also, he had a mistress in sydney with an illegitimate child. I dont see how he was such a great australian, he ran a price fixing scam for cardboard boxes, which everything is shipped in, which made everything slightly more expensive to everyone is australia, probably only a few dollars to each person, but still, he basically took money from australians for his own personal wealth, and wouldnt have given it a second thought. |

Like I wouldn't be doing the same either.. price gouge an extra $1 from every working Australian once a month (who misses $1/mth!) and you're up $108,000,000/yr.

Oh, of course, I'd do the same thing in a f***en heartbeat if i thought I could get away with it, or at least set it up so that when I got caught it didnt realy affect me.

(unless they have managed to learn to speak as some deaf people do) Haha, someone made an account on Gamearena a while back and pretended to be a deaf dude. He wrote terribly "because he was deaf". When it was pointed out that deaf people can read and write just fine he made the character asian or something. |
