Thirty Years of Obliging Government in Australia and Egypt

Alan Ramsey has just printed a new book detailing his 42 years in the Canberra press gallery. He was discussing it with Phillip Adams on lnl. Greed! He was livid, has grown immeasurably...He cited the Commonwealth Bank.

Or in their graves. An average of 2 Billion US$ per year aquired, though probably more in the last ten years than in the first ten years, still, say he/they/the family increased their worth by 3.65Billion US$ last year , thats like a lot more than the 2$ a day most Egyptians struggle to live on,...
