The Daily Mail IS certainly much easier to pick on.
court developments in Sydney: The former mayor of Auburn allegedly told a western Sydney business owner a bikie named Zod, who was the guy that walks behind Mehajer, would come and knock on his door if he didnt sell his Lidcombe property. Businessman Warren Jack told a public inquiry investigating corruption claims against the former Auburn council that the former mayor Ned Attie threatened him repeatedly last year by insinuating my life was in grave danger. The public inquiry is probing some of the councils planning and development decisions after multiple claims that councillors were making changes to benefit themselves and their families. All nine councillors - including deputy mayor Salim Mehajer - were sacked in February. In his evidence to the inquiry revealed in transcripts released today, Mr Jack claims Mr Attie told him there were several powerful businesspeople interested in buying the Salvation Army hall in Lidcombe the western Sydney business owner was struggling to turn into a three-bedroom residence. (Mr Attie) said, A guy names Zod is going to come to your door and then its all over for you. I suggest you sell and you save yourself and your family all this hassle. I said to him, Whats a Zod? And did he answer? asked counsel assisting Paul Bolster. No, there was another fellow there, replied Mr Jack. He said, Hes the guy that walks behind Mehajer, the big guy. He goes around and they take what they want. During a breakfast at the Flower Cafe in Lidcombe early on 15 July, Mr Jack also claims Mr Attie was trying to extort a $200,000 bribe from him to help get his development finished and past council. Youve got a bit of a problem, (Mr Attie) said. And I think weve come up with a solution for you. I said, Whats that? He said, They want $200,000 to get this approved. I cant remember what Mr Attie was saying for 10 or 15 seconds after that, but I remember him saying, Hey, hey, hey, relax, relax. Youve gone white. Youre shaking. At that point my breakfast started coming up and I actually stopped myself from vomiting over Mr Attie, which, for the record, I regret stopping it coming up. Mr Jack alleged that Mr Attie told him (fellow councillor) Hicham Zraika doesnt approve anything for under $500,000.

I was listening to the most recent Motorsport Magazine podcast a few days ago, with Simon Taylor who writes (wrote) a "Lunch With..." series for them. I liked his comment about asking Mark Webber where he'd like to go for lunch - the reply was "I don't care where I go mate, but it's gotta have somewhere where I can land m'helicopter"
