Let's hope he focuses all his philanthropy on a great cause close to our hearts and where it will always be appreciated :wink:

Dick Pratt does not need any awards to prove or show he is a top bloke. His history and success shows he is.

I heard on SEN about him giving back his awards, and the reporter referred to him as "disgraced businessman". He is in no way disgraced. What a load of crock!

make vizard look ordinary....

Nobody loves someone more than a "all powerful" saying..."I was wrong" - the vitriol is thrown and then comes "gee what a guy!" Combination of Pratt 's personality and advisors has meant he admits mistakes and assumes responsibility...issue dies almost instantly afterwards (even if caught out -Visy, Mistress etc - didn't you guys watch Absolute Power!)

Classic examples:
Bill Clinton
Evangelist Baker

Don't say it and you'll be hated for ever regardless of the punishment....especially when you "bitterly defend yourself" or god knows what they try to do
John Howard, Skase, Bond, That flower from HIH, jnr Adler jnr Packer and jnr Murdoch, Vizard etc etc etc ....

and Paul Collingwood still has an MBE.

pffft. These 'awards' are tripe. I reckon Mr Pratt is the type of guy that would only accept accolades direct from the source.... even then, he would probably wonder what all the fuss is about
