    This will be a bit of a time warp for those of a certain age... listening to Bob drone on during a boring Sunday arvo before Countdown came on.
    Here he's giving his run-down on the recently released movie "Wall Street" (the original one) just a few months after the '87 stockmarket crash.

    A bit of background; Bob was president of the National Civic Council a psuedo-political party that formed from a breakaway group from the Labor party.
    It's member's were mostly staunch conservative catholics. Sir Frank Packer (Kerry's father) was sympathetic to their cause and gave free airtime each week on his CH9 Network so that they could air their views when mainstream journalism/media were ignoring them.

    Bob drawing a distinction between crony-capitalism and "productive" capitalism. :)
