It was reported he was a cranbrook boy.
So family had plenty.
But drugs got hold him, and he’s been a waste of space for years.
He was in prison, when he met the mother (also in prison) online…

 My brother-in-law sent his son to Cranbrook, on the hope he'd become one of the 'elite'. 

 Within a year, the son wanted out. He said drugs were rife all through the school. One of his mates walked off a cliff under the influence of cocaine. So much for making elite contacts...

Hard to generalise on private school education, whether it be Cranbrook in Sydney or say, Scotch College in Melbourne, all schools including public have drug issues, in comparison to when I went school smoking and drinking were the issues. My sons went to a private school and went on to university to become a civil engineer and a law graduate, so as parent I had no complaints with their private school education.

The eastern suburbs cocaine set must have gone to school somewhere and I don't think it was Rooty Hill Public.

Until the Atlassian dude popped up the only thing I knew about Cranbrook is that it was where those intellectual giants the Packers went to school.

Guessing his lawyers will use the "mental illness " defence .  Of course he has mental problems, all caused by drug use, so why should that get him any favours.  You choose to be a drug user ,,fine, as long as it doesnt impact on other people and their lives I have no problems with that.
If it impacts on others, and you are too piss weak to get off the stuff, then pay the price for whatever you do.
The mother is just as guilty as him.

Not sure about Jodee Rich or Rodney Alder Baghdad. And would you call James Packer a business whizz kid. Think he may well have struggled without Daddy's loot to get him going

Think James may have ditched his old mans business values for the dark side of making a quick quid via the dark side (gambling). Grubby business  - shark infested environment in the main.

Was listening to the BBC last night about the kerfuffle Whooping Goldberg made after her claim that the holocaust was not about race but mans inhumanity to man on the show " The View " , I thought , well my dear wasn't your Civil War about race ? but then again also mans inhumanity to others , oh and money too ! Big smile

Whoopi Goldberg Suspended From 'The View' Over Holocaust Comments

"While Whoopi has apologized, I’ve asked her to take time to reflect and learn about the impact of her comments," ABC's president said.

"Let’s be truthful about it because [the] Holocaust isn’t about race," Goldberg said. "It's not about race. It’s about man's inhumanity to man."

When Goldberg's co-hosts challenged that — including Ana Navarro saying that the Holocaust was "about white supremacy" — Goldberg said, "But these are two white groups of people... This is white people doing it to white people, so y’all going to fight amongst yourselves."


 In some ways, what she said is right. It's all in the interpretation of 'race' and whether race is religion...or vice-versa. 

 Whoopi identifies as Jewish...

There is a lot of debate among scientists over there is such a thing as race.
