Only money – lots of it – can sustain a sustained fight for a land grab of this proportion. After chewing away for nearly two decades, the land titles office relented, granting billionaire Lindsay Fox 45 metres of prime beach – worth $5 million – to his Portsea property. Any respecting Australian would respect the rights of other Australians – that public beach was for all. But this kind of extension of personal wealth its typical. Money = power = take. Lets hope the government is strong enough to right a wrong.
