If Dick Pratt gets a State Funeral due to his generosity to charities does this mean Mick Gatto will get one as well? I don't think so.

Well it took him to die for the media to finally come out and mention his long time mistress. So a crook and an adulterer.

If your wife looked like a monkey you would have a mistress too ;-)

Apparently from the Price Fixer's estate the scum will get a very massive payday. More tainted money heading the filth's way down at Royal Parade.

100 million they are getting apparantly, but the Daughter and Son in law are expected to get half of his wealth and the Son in Law is on the Pies board. :)

$100m seems a little off the mark but wouldn't it be ironic if his money did come collingwood's way. i suppose we would have to refuse it.

Pratts Mistress has been mentioned plenty of times in the media. It was front page news in the right wing Murdoch Press known as the Herald Sun some time ago & also featured a while ago in the alleged progressive newspaper The Age.
Not that I'm jealous - but for $20 mil & a $5 mil house with waterside views in Sydney I reckon I might have had his baby too!!

It's comforting to know that the hundreds of millions he siphoned illegally from the Australian public will keep going to good public causes..........like the Chris Judd superannuation fund and the 17th, 18th ....flags for the Blues.

PRATT Richard
The Board of Directors, Staff, Players and Members of the Collingwood Football Club are deeply saddened by the passing of a great man of football, a wonderful father, a world-leading philanthropist and a giant of the community. Richard's passing is not only a devastating loss for his beloved Blues, but also to everyone involved in football. The Pratt Foundation's contribution to the Collingwood family has been profound, and we will continue to honour Richard's legacy, long into the future. Our sincere condolences are extended to Jeanne, Heloise and Alex, Anthony and Claudine, Fiona and Ruffy and the Pratt family. Side by side We stick together

Enough ! The greedy wealthy old bastard, a crook, had a wonderful life of luxury and high living. There are many, many decent and HONEST and hardworking people I would grieve over long,long before him. People who volunteer their time freely to deliver meals on wheels, to help the aged and sick get around, who comfort and care for the sick and elderly, and who never get an ounce of recognition. They sure damn well dont get any Order of Australia medals either. He had a long life, how many young people die these days, a young life gone is something to be sad about,not some crook who lived the life of Riley.
