      So $1.2 billion for paradise guess that’s the going rate when location, location, location means the Great Barrier Reef.

      Part article:
      Hamilton Island, a popular tropical holiday destination on the Great Barrier Reef, has been sold to a US private equity firm, reportedly for $1.2bn.

      New York-headquartered Blackstone – which owns the casino-hotel chain Crown Resorts – released a statement on Tuesday night announcing it had entered into an agreement to acquire the Hamilton Island resort from the Oatley family, subject to customary regulatory approvals.

      Being an American I can definitively say U.S. private equity firms are soulless bottom feeders that ruin everything they touch

      Edit – this is hilariously triggering people because I’m speaking on something that originates where I’m from. Just seeing the word America makes some of you weirdos melt down

      Can we send Rupert Murdoch there? Then nuke the boat taking him because „fEnTanYl“?

      How long do we give it before it becomes a tasteless tourist spot? Surely they will find an idiotic way to damage the ecosystem of the reef itself until it’s beyond repair. Then it will be promptly bled dry of all natural resources, ruined by pollution and left to rot in no time.

      First Starbucks, Hooters, Nike store, Walmart, and McDonalds at the Great Barrier Reef?

      Well, $1.2bn isn’t going to get you a skull shaped volcano island in this real estate market. I guess they had to settle.

      Has anyone told them the Great Barrier Reef is dying? That equals no fishing…among other things billionaire pedophiles do

      I wonder what made the oatley family sell. They also sold wild oats XI this year.

      “This is where we play the most dangerous game.” I hate this reality.

      As-if that reef is going to sh*t fast enough, already, just due to global warming… /sigh

      Why is this world news? Headline could’ve been: Real estate for sale was bought.

      Its about time billionaires and under-age girls had a nice place to stay

      As long as they’re paying their rates, I don’t give a rat’s ass who owns it.

      The Australian government could block it. If not, then there’s some amount of responsibility laid right there.
