This is in the international media. Love it. This is not hurting our image at all. Aussie's are not wimps and even the rich sort of their differences in the traditional way.

Australian billionaires Bondi brawl: 'boys will be boys'

Police in Australia seek interview with brawling Bondi moguls as MP plays down the fight, saying "boys will be boys"



Australian police have asked to interview billionaire James Packer and his former best friend David Gyngell over their public brawl in Bondi.

As a cabinet member dismissed the fight by noting that "boys will be boys", police took a witness account and photographs from Brendan Beirne, whose images of the fight were sold to Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation for an estimated £110,000.

Mark Walton, a Sydney police commander, said the "profile of those involved" would not affect the investigation.

"There is suggestion that the conduct ... may constitute an offence of assault or affray," he said.

Mr Packer, 46, a casino mogul, is the son of the late media tycoon and one-day cricket pioneer Kerry Packer; Mr Gyngell, 47, was best man at both of Mr Packer's weddings and is head of Channel Nine, the television station once owned by the Packer family.

The cops are being a bit hypocritical over this. It's not uncommon for cops on the pi$$ to pick fights, and then have their target charged with assault police when they get a hiding.

I knew a barrister who beat a cop in a punch up. Knowing the cop's next move, he went to the hospital to have his injuries photographed/documented.
