Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and wife Lauren Sánchez Bezos spotted in Sydney

Jeff Bezos and his wife, Lauren SánchezThey are located in Australia – Sydney to be exact.

We don’t know for what purpose. But if there’s nothing else, How is he the fourth richest man in the world? one chooses to spend one’s time in the Emerald City created a good surprise.

Bezos, who was seen out for lunch at luxury restaurant Mimi’s in Coogee on Friday, was seen entering the Park Hyatt bar that evening, where he was photographed by a CBD spy with what appeared to be a negroni. Billionaire Amazon founderThe man, wearing black and sporty Cuban-style heeled boots, was next to an unshaven man who has not yet been identified.

Jeff Bezos was spotted at the Park Hyatt bar in Sydney.

So, leaving aside transportation and accommodation, Bezos lives just like us.

Judging by Sánchez’s Instagram, the pair may be staying at the Park Hyatt, whose 350-square-metre Sydney Suite bears a striking resemblance to the balcony Sánchez shared with her 1.1 million followers on Sunday morning. The suite’s nightly price is not listed by Hyatt, but it reportedly starts at around $21,000.

Then there is transportation. Flight tracking data shows that a plane widely reported to belong to Bezos, an ultra-luxury Gulfstream G700 private jet, landed in Sydney at 1.15pm on Friday after flying from the Pacific. Bezos, whose net worth The company, which is worth about US$260 billion ($372 billion) according to Forbes, reportedly owns four private jets.

Customers at Mimi’s in Coogee were surprised to see Jeff Bezos and his wife, Lauren Sáchez Bezos, on Friday.

However, what the duo are doing in Australia and whether they will visit Melbourne is still a mystery. Amazon is doing well in this market and is among the tech giants competing to build data centers in Australia. The company already operates more than a dozen off Australia’s shores, and last year it beat out Elon Musk’s Starlink to land a multimillion-dollar contract with the National Broadband Network to deliver satellite internet to rural and regional Australians. Amazon Australia did not respond to a request for comment by deadline.

Therefore, our guess is that Bezos, who no longer runs the company as CEO but remains chairman of the board, will definitely have a few meetings in his diary, vacation or not.

‘Witch’ trawler truck is on the roads again

Double, double effort and trouble… the famous trawler truck divisive billboard ads targeting the Premier Jacinta Allan He’s back on the streets of Melbourne.

Truck as first reported Age He was ordered off the road by police earlier this month after receiving a fault notice and was spotted by the CBD late on Friday turning from Exhibition Street onto Bourke Street and rolling towards Parliament House. with the slogan “It’s time to get rid of this witch,” and her doctored Allan image is fully evident.

The billboard truck, known for advertising a Gotham City brothel on its screens, was issued a notice of defect regarding its advertising screens and was ordered off the road for inspection on July 8. The notice followed a complaint made to police by a member of the public in April.

The compatibility issue was removed and the car was deemed fully roadworthy by VicRoads last week.

Apparently no time was wasted in getting her back on the road with an additional tagline: “The truck stops! The witch must go.” We’re getting Drift.

Franco Puleo, Owner of Gotham City adult resort in South Melbourne have taken a loan before For organizing the “Drop the Witch” campaign was widely criticized by commentators and all sides of the political divide, including the Prime Minister. Anthony Albanese and former Prime Minister Julia Gillard It is seen as misogynistic, sexist and offensive.

Police confirmed to CBD that no further action would be taken regarding the fault issue.

“The defect notification follows an investigation into the addition of billboards to the vehicle that fall outside regulatory standards.

“Police have been advised that the truck has been presented to VicRoads for inspection and the vehicle is roadworthy. Therefore police will not be taking any further action regarding the vehicle.”

The controversial billboard on his truck reads: “The truck stays! The witch must go!” Another slogan emerged that read:

The defect notice requested the removal of three large LED screens on the vehicle, and an email from police explained that the community member’s complaint occurred before anti-Labor adverts began appearing on the screens.

“Instead of worrying about fixing this situation, they are busy targeting small businesses like me and anyone else who wants to talk about this government by advertising on the truck,” Puleo angrily told CBD on Sunday.

“There was no problem with the truck. A police officer who issued the tip told us that Vic Pol will not bother us again and will not take instructions from other officials. Instead of giving herself a raise, Jacinta should focus her energy on finding $15 billion and helping businesses and family members.”

Where is Barnaby?

Last week It’s a big deal for One Nation. appeared Perennial hearth of the Senate Malcolm Roberts had described alex jonesA fountain of conspiracy theories, including that the Sandy Hook school shooting was a false flag as a “beacon of hope around the world.”

Then the leader came Pauline HansonMediterranean holiday with a billionaire Gina Rinehart. This was complemented by the emergence of the controversial far-right freak show, as well as the Hanson podcast tommy robinsonTurned out to be too strange even for the UK Reform leader Nigel Farageand was called a “bandit” by Andrew Bolt.

Late last week, our colleagues wrote to Hanson and Barnaby Joyce They were in “constant disagreement”there was always going to be some forensic tea leaf analysis. Joyce and One Nation of course insisted former Nationals leader and new boss There is a relationship based on trust.

Attention was drawn over the weekend to the absence of Joyce’s name on the One Nation website and the absence of the party name on Joyce’s own website. It is unclear whether Joyce accessed the One Nation website or if it was altered. Of course, as with all things One Nation, our guess was that this omission would probably have to do with lack of professionalism and understaffing rather than, say, an impending split. But then again, who knows.

When we reached Sunday, Joyce was “trying to put on a muscle,” which we took to mean exercise, perhaps lifting weights. He was outraged by this imprint’s report last week, which revealed disagreements between him and Hanson. “On what basis?” he asked. When asked about the absence of his name on the One Nation website, he said there was nothing about it. I am happy to serve in clearing this up.
