The 400-odd guest list on the 12-day cruise from New York to Montreal this week is estimated to be costing up to $5m.
Those on board will include billionaires Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest, Solomon Lew and John Gandel, along with footy club presidents Andrew Bassat and Luke Sayers, infrastructure leader Rod Eddington, Melbourne Lord Mayor Sally Capp, Linfox board members Bill Kelty and Simon Crean, and presenter Eddie McGuire who will host some of the festivities, according to The Financial Review."
Our Prez mixing with the A listers!
Silly time to be doing something like this. China and Russia may want to make a statement and this would be one way to make an awfully big one!

Rather than derail the discussion in the Williams thread comparing her to Court I'll post this in here.
It's on a similar theme to how off court/field behaviour reflects on a persons achivement.
I had a discussion with my son-in-law a few weeks back.
I have a vinyl collection of about 400 records.
It's mostly stuff from the 50s and 60s but also features quite a few records from the decades either side of that period.
Amongst the records are some by artists like Michael Jackson, Rolf Harris and Al Jolson (probably the most unracist "racist" you could find ...but his craft bears a stigma)
No doubt each of the above characters have diminished in the public eye since their popular days.
As we were going through the records my SIL asked "Can we separate the behaviour and attitude from the achievements and still acknowledge those achievements?"
I thought for a minute and replied "I think we have to."
I'm not sure (pretty sure) that's an opinion not shared by everyone.

You can and should separate a person's achievements from their beliefs, values etc.

Like Novak Djokovic?
The hypocrisy is telling in many circumstances.

In fact I'd say the hypocrisy sits, if it exists at all, in the attitudes of those who think he should be exempt from common laws and rules just because he is a sporting celebrity!

As the world returns to travel it seems expectations might need to be adjusted.
I've a few friends now returning form initial trips having been on the travel shelf for sometime. While they reports some terrific deals with some venues are making a genuine effort to attract travellers, it seems that much like the effects of the great resignation on commercial enterprise, travel accommodation has been wrecked by the presence of airBnB, and it's leaving the travel accommodation experience falling well short of expectation.
One friend has begun using the term airBnB as an acronym for, air-Beds-n-Bugs.
Make your bookings wisely!
