Little John 1 and Little John 2 go in to bat for a right Pratt.

Hot on the heels of John Howard's frottage a deux with the Exclusive Brethren and the Rodent and the Smirk's banging menage a trois uglies with the Liar, Liar, Catch the Pants on Fire Sect, an unlikely and unholy trinity of Howard, Costello and Brumby has come out in support of The Church of the Latter Day Robin Hoods.

Prime Minister John Howard has defended the character of Visy owner, billionaire businessman Richard Pratt, calling him a generous Australian.

Mr Howard says his dealings with Mr Pratt have always been positive.

RICHARD PRATT: Well I am confident that the evidence will show that I had no part in any market sharing agreement or understanding with my competitors. I can't say any more today. (Thurs, 22 Dec, 2005)

“I have always found Mr Pratt in my own personal dealings with him to be a very good citizen,” he said.

"Traditional marriage is one of the bedrock institutions of our society and I don't want anything to occur that further weakens it." Good citizen John Winston Howard. August 6 2003

PREMIER John Brumby has maintained support for billionaire and Carlton Football Club president Richard Pratt despite an expected record $40 million price fixing fine.

Mr Brumby today applauded the Visy cardboard king’s generosity and pledged to retain contact with the prominent businessman in the wake of his company’s cartel confession.

Yep, Tricky Dicky Pratt is truly your modern day Robbin' Hood, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. Stealing from rich people* by dint of price fixing and donating to the needy on their unbeknownst behalf.

*"The cartel deal is alleged to have affected some of the nation's biggest companies including Coca-Cola Amatil, Goodman Fielder, Cadbury Schweppes, Foster's Group, Lion Nathan and Nestle Australia, as well as thousands of small business customers. Cadbury Schweppes has already launched a claim seeking $120 million compensation for alleged overcharging on cardboard boxes and plastic bottles."
