Pratt looks like a saint compared to QANTAS.... There long haul price fixing is going to cost them 70Mill.

I think that Qantas is unfit to be a corporate partner and Fatprick should start a crusade against them. ( I wonder how much advertising they spend in the Australian)

WHAT!!??

I thought Richard Pratt was the only person ever to have involved himself in price fixing.

You mean to say... that this sort of behaviour is commonplace throughout the world... :shock:

Next someone will tell me that retail petrol prices aren't strictly a result of free market forces...

Fatprick Smith will no doubt want Mokbel Airways not to sponsor the Wallaby's and Soccerroos I suppose, let alone be the AFL's airline.

Might have to remove Cadbury products from AFL venues :wink:

People are obviously sick to death of this but this once again indicates that 'price fixing' is not as uncommon as football commentators are trying to make out.

The funny thing is that Cadbury is one of the companies in Australia filing a class action against Visy :? :?

We will all look forward to Fatprick Smith's tirade about the suitability of QANTAS to be a major corporate sponsor of the AFL (or any sport for that matter) with great interest. :roll:

The ACCC did a great job of rooting the hardware industry letting Bunnings buy BBC, but hey once they owned them they never set any prices :roll: :roll:
Maybe we should Jail Samuel !

So when Visy was being fined, Amcor were given immunity.

Now that Amcor is being sued in a class action, Visy is being lumped in as well! :shock:

I have bought products packaged in cardboard. Maybe I should ask to get a share of that $300mil.... and give it back to Mr Pratt for being a bloody good businessman.

Pretty much over this by now. I reckon the Labour/Greens cartel having two runners in every seat when the Coalition had only one is a worse travesty.... How people voted for a man who eats his own waste products - or at least sticks his finger in his ear before popping it in his mouth - is beyond me.

The Coalition is not a cartel of course.

Geez Donstuie...I wish I didn't have to read that crap.

It was like listening to Ramuses Fatprick Smith in a cave with his 8 feral siblings....ranting, raving, blundering, and unfortunately, breathing.

Yeah, it is more than a little like an episode of Jerry Springer, that's for sure.
