Cheers Bob.

Is that one of the old seven ounce glasses? 200ml as opposed to the 285ml 'pot'.

That's a 7.

What a shame and an insult to such a great a mind that protocol dictates that such a low rent one as our PM speaks at his memorial. Morrison isn't even fit to sniff Bob's farts.

Another day another example of Gough getting all buthurt and having a go at the liberals.

It's been a long time since it hurt honey.

gougho seems to have much in common with Hawkie then.

And now the scavengers descend on his wealth. Happens all the time when rich people opt to not evenly distribute their wealth on death.

Disgraceful how a lot of people act over ****in money.

The Hawke family has a long history of disfunction. Hazel did a pretty good job trying to keep it all together, but it cant be easy being married to a powerbroker.

No real surprise there, even family situations not as complicated often turn into absolute shitfights.

Apparently each child got 750k including the widows son. But the widow got to keep the 15 million dollar house! When she dies the step son will get everything. ****ed up and good long game by the widow

and you know this how?

Because that is why the kids are going to court over the Will. Once it goes to Blanche's side its gone from the Hawke side for good.

 

[Gough]

Maybe it's what he wanted? I assume he was aware of the consequences of leaving the house to Blanche.

My point was that he had some very specific figures which I have not seen quoted publicly and I very much doubt that anything like this would be public.
I would also think that Bob had a fair bit more cash to spread around over and above the Mansion.

I remember seeing $15m, but not for the house. For what was going to Blanche.

So the numbers don't add up, even via the speculation that you've seen.
It just pisses me that people feel the need to speculate on s**t that they have no idea about.
Bob's dead, so why is there a need to stamp on his grave and, frankly, who cares?

Former PM's family fighting over his millions isnt an interesting story? This will go to the Supreme Court for sure.

They were married for 24 years; there’s playing the long game and then there’s this.

His house was in Castlecrag from memory and would have been worth about that.

The family of a truly great Australian having a public spat over his estate isn't interesting to me, just sad.

Id say its both. Our laws related to wills are terrible. Courts routinely rewrite them.

This is yet another reminder.
