No, I have not edited anything because of any coercion, legal or otherwise. I was contacted by someone representing him, who wants to try to set things right, and I don’t feel it’s unreasonable to let them try. They asked for some time to try to come to some arrangements, and if I could edit them until that time. I don’t want anyone to suffer, creditors and debtors included, and if there is a genuine effort made to pay back money and turn things around, I am more than happy to help anyone get their life back on track.

If if it’s all just a ruse, legal action will continue from there, but I like to have (regardless of how misguided!) faith that people want to do the right thing, and they should be given the chance to correct their mistakes.

Other people may feel differently and if that’s the case, they should make their own arrangements! I’d just like to see everyone come out a winner.

Rats, you are what is politely known as a “sucker”. The late Kerry Packer knew how to ensure he had no bad debts. That technique still works today.

All I can suggest - flippantly, is why not give Mick Gatto a call? He is allegedly a professional mediator that gets results.

Don’t tempt me...
