    Yeah, but think of all the builders, contractors, architects, tradies and taxes in Gold Coast that Trump will never pay for this.

    Why the fuck is this even being considered? I know, money, but c’mon Australia…

    Gold Coast mayor says he looks forward to considering a ‘formal development application’

    “Looking forward to considering”, sounds to me like a very formal way to say fuck off…

    This is so embarrassing for all the Australian oligarchs. In their own backyard. Gina must be fuming! I can only imagine what Lowy must be thinking with his basket on a chopstick in the sky. I suppose its a stranded basket now.

    Why are they using the developer’s boastful claim as the article title? They could have gone with a neutral title stating that the development was being considered, or even negative title quoting someone who says it is a horrible idea. I wonder why they chose to use the positive quote like that…

    I suppose maybe the answer to my question is that journalism is often now about being provocative rather than informative. By stoking people’s emotions (usually anger), you get more engagement - which is apparently the only metric that matters these days.
