Well, there you go, the 4:13-4:32 minute marker is eye opening, sadly, in my opinion.
The older billionaire revealed much in one short response to the question: can young people afford this property, in this dated 2017 report. He replied, “No,” and added “as long as the Chinese…continue to buy.” In other words, he is living in Australia, building homes in Australia, and earning Australian money. However, as long as non-Australians continue to purchase his produced housing, he is content. How about that version of nationalism???😢

@vg7735 ….😶. Okay. So happens, maybe thankfully, I have not experienced such mentioned culture’s debilitating influence in Australia, parts of Apartheid South Africa, Canada, Caribbean, North America, nor New Zealand.
Yet, I have lived through the European domination that dictates what constitutes acceptable “norms” when referring to clothing, hairstyles, food choices, beauty (or lack there of), income, entertainment, and an overall standard for living.
In my world, based on my experience, again, thankfully, no Asian nor Middle Easterners have subjected native populations to reserved areas with structural racism binding EVERY aspect of their lives. However, such is not the case in other places in the world when such mentioned cultures have damaged entire societies.
With such an understanding, I would suggest the culprit that must then be addressed are those possibly wealthy people groups who operate as if their wealth equates success: this is not truth. This is especially not truth when success hinges on and depends upon one culture belittling our fellow human beings. Again, it is time to rethink the standard defining what qualifies as a civilized society. Sadly, the majority of indigenous peoples are somehow defined as “marginalized” by the marginal groups dominating wealth rather than human inclusion.

As American baseball’s lasting rule states: three strikes and you are OUT! In this murderer’s case, in my opinion, he is no longer eligible to live amongst the free society!
Sorry, this is longer than expected. I had to vent.
Honestly, I think Australia needs to reconsider many of their judicially defined prison sentences. But again, regarding this case, here is the bottom line: the man freely murdered ladies, multiple times. And in my mind, he is and should be considered a THREAT to society.
Mind you, his version of processing his life and dealing with the issues he faces in life is based on subjecting harm and control over others. And every attempt is to benefit his needs and desires, which is evident in his multiple attempts to gain his freedom: letters, self-proclaimed rehabilitation, sex-change (times 2); all of which are characteristics based on a manipulative personality.
Above all, innocent people should not be punished with the burden of existing in life whilst living in fear because this man is eligible for a released sentence because of some antiquated legislation choice that was decided by factors associated with funding and prison space.
Be safe! The victimization of the innocent is often overlooked in the halls of judicial institutions, really. I mean, honestly, hasn’t history shown us the perils of repeat offenders? So when does it stop? Oh, I know, when another few victims are murdered. Then we’ll see 60 Minutes Australia, a decade from now discussing how a one time serial killer was released from prison only to kill again.
Enough is ENOUGH, in my opinion.😢

@michaelwoodbodley8099 , Thanks. I guess this episode provided me some new information. After a brief time of research, I learned a few things about Naval terms.
According to the US Naval Institute, here are some interesting facts:
One of the quickest ways to establish yourself as a naval novice is to refer to a ship as a boat. Unfortunately, there is no absolute way to define the difference. However, some criteria can be applied to help those who care to try.
In general, a boat is a watercraft (for want of a better word) that is small enough to be carried on board a larger one, and that larger one is a ship. This is sometimes expressed this way: “A ship can carry a boat, but a boat can never carry a ship…Sometimes, when it is not clear whether we are dealing with a small ship or a big boat, the term “craft” is employed…Using the above guidance, submarines are technically ships. Yet they are traditionally referred to as boats.
The original submarines were very small and manned only when in use, so “boat” was appropriate. But as they developed into larger vessels—and rightfully should have been called ships—the original term stuck…When the large nuclear subs began to appear, there was an attempt by some submariners to start calling them ships, but as with many things in the Navy, tradition trumped logic, and today, all submarines—even the giant “boomers” (fleet ballistic-missile submarines)—are called boats.
But the Dictionary of Naval Terms (Naval Institute Press, 2005) defines “vessel” as “every description of craft, ship, or other contrivance used as a means of transportation on water.” Other dictionaries confirm the acceptability of this term, including Webster’s—“a watercraft bigger than a rowboat.” Perhaps most convincing of all is that “The Official Inventory of U.S. Naval Ships and Service Craft” is formally known as the “Naval Vessel Register.”
So, the bottom line is that vessel is an acceptable term in most naval circles” (https://www.usni.org › october › bl...Bluejacket's Manual - Of Ships and Boats and . . . | Naval History Magazine).
I learned something new today.😁

Sad. Sad stuff. Why? Because most of those children we witnessed in this piece, if living, are still preaching the same things as their interviewed forefathers once declared, now, nearly fifty years….later.
Ninety percent after “independence,” but the dependence on weed replaces dem strength. So the interviewed father’s son, young “Nesta” da prophet, still proclaims the lasting legacy of this tragic land:
Welcome to Jamrock…Out in the streets they call it murder…Come on let's face it, a ghetto education's basic
And most ah de youths them waste it; And when dem waste it, that's when dem take the guns replace it; Then dem don't stand a chance at all…Welcome to Jamrock; Out in the streets they call it murder” (Songwriters: Damian Robert Nesta Marley / Ini Kamoze / Stephen Marley; Welcome to Jamrock lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Universal Music Publishing Group).
Absolutely horrible. Extremely sad to watch for this dark skinned viewer.🥺😞😢😭😭😭!
