"I'll rubbish them the whole time. They wouldn't want to pay much," he told the Sydney Morning Herald.


How stupid. He doesn't own it anymore, what's it to him who might buy it, and I doubt they'd care what he thought anyway.

It's been rubbish for years anyway.

I caught the tail end of a comment by (I guess) Mr Crafar wherein he bemoaned the fact his family had put their heart and soul into their properties for generations only to have it sold to the Chinese.

I needed it that day (Saturday) other wise I couldn't setup certain functions. Then add in the courier costs, and it would have cost me more and would have had to wait 3 days before I got it. It was only about $12 so its no big deal, not exactly going to break the bank. Anyway got the phone for free (Vodafone 858 ) so cant complain.
