Is this what "being an Aussie" means ?  That good mates can punch each other out in public and remain besties ?

I wonder if they conduct their respective businesses in such a fashion.  Or whether they got their pugilistic skills from their staff member, Mr Abbott ?

Jamie Whacker will be on the front page tomorrow

It's very relaxed in Bondi, well I don't notice that much what people wear unless they dress up, it's a beachside working class suburb.

its not just a case of backyard barby boffo

these are professional men...apparently

to operate a casino, part of the licensing requirement is that you are a person of good character - a charge of assailt or affray will ruin that. if packer is charged, its goodbye casino operaters license

this is why this bit of bi ffo has hit the news and is quite important

Billionaires and their associates need to be dressed tidy when they go out, incase they get in a scuffle and end up on the front page of the newspaper.

Is anyone curious to know why the prospect of a Nine News vehicle parked in the street would set off such a Packer rage?

New woman perhaps? New man? New business problem? Major casino loss?

There has to be either a woman or cash involved.

Is Packer a bully boy?

It seems odd that he texted his mate to go off about the news truck, ordering that it be removed.

Mate goes to check it out and explain via phone that the driver lives there. 

Packer leaves car and punches mate whose head smashes bricks on the way down.

Mate takes blame after the event by saying it's his fault for being there.

Are they really best friends?

It all reminds me of a school yard bully scenario.
