Lord_Sugar latikambourke Money speaks many languages.

Lord_Sugar latikambourke Lord Sugar can come in over people who are stranded and have no where to live? Shame on you Morrison, you've forgotten what it means to be an Aussie - we should all get a fair shake.

latikambourke “Alan Sugar, a British Lord...” Yes, I get that from his bumptious Twitter handle. Unless of course he's a department store, like Lord & Taylor?

Lord_Sugar latikambourke The people who are truly in charge of everything get their way and everyone is up in arms? Democracy is overrated. These oligarchs rule and get averrage people to constantly keep them and thier cronies in power.

Lord_Sugar latikambourke It's obvious that lots of people are coming in. Just do the maths- all citizens could be back in 6 weeks with 4000 quota but they are saying they won't be back before Christmas so someone is making those numbers

Lord_Sugar latikambourke In other news the rich get better health care and live in nicer houses too.

JonDeeOz Lord_Sugar latikambourke Talk about closing borders.. Dutton has closed borders to stranded Australians but opens them for the rich and famous

adventure_ali_ Lord_Sugar latikambourke How was he able to get sponsored at all? What exemption did his employer claim? This is where the investigative journalists should be looking.....if anyone cares. Someone - please - spit on him in the street. He took an Aussie's spot.

MSMWatchdog2013 Lord_Sugar latikambourke Fucking dan andrews

Lord_Sugar latikambourke Australian Border Force, Peter Dutton has total control over international borders. There would be many more cases of favour for the wealthy and connected being put before those more desperate and deserving. Our borders are supposedly closed.

Lord_Sugar latikambourke He is a Billionaire & his last name is Sugar. Duh!

Lord_Sugar latikambourke I think the clue is in the word 'billionaire'

Lord_Sugar latikambourke Aussies CAN come home . They just want to pay low prices for the seats. THIS IS A PANDEMIC. Prices are up. Sorry but there are seats available , however with your seat purchase - YOU HAVE TO MEET THE MARKET DEMAND. Currently less flights = more $$$$ seats

Lord_Sugar latikambourke Alan should not have been let in even before the pandemic. He does not meet the character requirements.
