Deputy Speaker: Order!
PK: And is a criminal in my view.
It's the same thing with these analysts reports. You have to work out what their agenda is. Who they are looking after. Most of the time it's their high net worth clients and they are positioning them for the next big move upwards. Once the positioning is in place, ducks are in a row, and the uplift has started, there will be a sudden revision and new report for the unwashed credulous retail investors, taking into account the changed scenarios. Rinse and repeat, it never gets old.
* In 1967, while employed as a publican in Carnarvon, Tuckey was convicted of assault after striking an Aboriginal man with a length of steel cable and fined $50. The man was allegedly being held down by Tuckey's brother at the time. Tuckey has had the nickname "Ironbar" ever since.
