Gina says her kids are lazy
why is that?...does she ask herself, she is their parent, sureley she had some influence in rearing them to be productive independant members of the community, to know the value of a dollar and a fair days work for a fair days pay?
or no
if not, its her fault....not ours and she gets what she invested in her children.....nothing

Australia is a young country and anyone prepared to apply themselves and use their brain is capable of making themselves well off.
Or be lazy and become wealthy from trust money from your grandfather or inheriting from billionaire mother.
How does one get to own a mine these days, through hard work, brains and applying oneself?

YES Nathan Tinkle did, he didnt sit around waiting for others to pay for his lifestyle or moaning and thinking that everyone should give him handouts, he got of his...... and worked and purchased a mine lease..... the rest is history... he may have hit some speed bumps of late but he is still a very wealthy person who worked for his money.
He didnt expect the socialist mantra to pay for his lifestyle
You never know what may happen for you if you try

not sure if tinkler is a an example for anyone to follow... clearly Save The Billionaires not working for tinkler...hahahaha
At 35 Mr Tinkler became the nation’s youngest billionaire — but by age 37 the creditors were closing in. He has lost his private jet, horse stud and yesterday his prized football team, the Newcastle Knights.
Former police minister Mike Gallacher has been accused of lying to a corruption inquiry and only telling the truth when he was "caught out" by other evidence.
In his second day in the Independent Commission Against Corruption witness box, Mr Gallacher was presented with a transcript of his evidence at a secret hearing with the watchdog in March this year.
Counsel assisting the ICAC, Geoffrey Watson, SC, accused him of "trying to trick ICAC" by suggesting his contact with executives from a property development company linked to Nathan Tinkler ceased around 2009.
The ICAC is investigating allegations that Mr Gallacher was involved in a "corrupt scheme" to channel illegal donations from Buildev to Liberal candidates before the March 2011 election.

FALLEN billionaire Nathan Tinkler, famous for living the high life, hit an all-time low on Thursday.
Owed millions, retail magnate Gerry Harvey called in his debt announcing he’ll carve up and sell off Mr Tinkler’s once sprawling thoroughbred racing empire, Patinack Farm, at an unreserved auction next month.
All horses will be sold at Harvey’s Magic Millions on the Gold Coast in the last week of September, while agents will be appointed to sell property in NSW, Queensland and Victoria.
Mr Tinkler, once worth $1.3billion, lost control of the Newcastle Knights in June but still owns the Newcastle Jets.
Media reports last week said Mr Tinkler, who is expected to appear at the Independent Commission Against Corruption next week, had returned to Singapore to visit one of his employees who recently had a baby.**
Mr Tinkler’s estranged wife Rebecca and the couple’s four children live in Maui
** reportedly his baby.

Do you ever make a post without trying to denigrate and be condescending to (if you try) other posters.?
I don't expect anyone to pay for my lifestyle (whatever your idea is of what that maybe). Who do you think funds my household? Is it any of your business?
Are we supposed to look up to Tinkler, fallen billionaire, failed marriage, got his employee pregnant while still with his wife, ICAC etc etc.??????????? Your reference to him was a joke right?

yes fiesta I agree. I have a small poster on my fridge that says:
In the eyes of a child love is spelled
TIME
IMO you cannot spoil a child with money.....but you can spoil them if you do not invest 'time' with them.

I don't get the whole "socialist mantra" expect others to pay for your lifestyle" or the constant use of thatchers stupid :socialism running out of other peoples money" or whatever it is - it makes no sense, whose money is this "other peoples money" that socialist countries use? It's a nonsensical line, picked up and repeated and repeated with no understanding of reality.
