auction results too scary to publish, page-58

The cane farmer no doubt happier than Skase at the end of the day!

I remember a story about the golf course at Palm Cove.;

True? Could be but heard it from a taxi driver so with a pinch of salt....

Japanese investor to cane farmer...Will give you 15 million for your cane farm so I can make a golf course.

farmer : Ok :)

After settlement..

Japanese investor to cane farmer: - You know I would have gone to 20 million?

Cane farmer right back at him: - Do you knwo I would have accepted 2 million?

So now the Jpanese have fled en masse perhaps the real winners up here have been the cane farmers. Well some fo them still many just farm !
