The Department of Public Prosecutions in conjunction with the ACCC has dropped the charges of price fixing against Richard Pratt.

But how much public money was wasted in pursuing Pratt? The DPP and ACCC have cited Pratt's ill health as the reason for the case being dropped.

But it came after the Judge in the case ruled out crucial evidence. Richard Pratt had requested that this case not be dropped on medical grounds, wanting to fight to prove his innocence.

So more money has been wasted pursuing a fruitless case against Pratt. That's your money. Good one ACCC.

On another point, it was great to see the Carlton Football Club winning their game against the Bulldogs for Richard Pratt. And there is no need to worry about their kicking, it was back with a vengeance.

About Just Grumpy

Im not a right wing nut job, far from it. I just believe that the world doesnt owe you a living, you make your own luck (was that Kevin Rudd?) and if you work hard you can succeed.

Thats not to say that we shouldnt help those who cant help themselves. I have a firm belief in giving a helping hand up to those who genuinely need it. (please give generously to my linked charities)

I call myself a realist and i want to tell it like it is. Somebody has to speak the truth. Because seriously, what a selfish bunch of insular tools we have become in today's dreamy Australia.

Maybe we arent so different to the rest of the world. And maybe it was always this way.

Anyway, until things change, i remain young and grumpy.
