Nothing is sacred in this country. Nothing.
Australia isn't a nation; it's a balance sheet. Every patch of dirt, every slice of coastline, every piece of our common heritage is just an asset waiting for the right bidder. We don't have landmarks, we have listings.
The latest proof? Hamilton Island—a place woven into the fabric of Aussie holidays, memories, and identity—has just been sold for $1.2 BILLION to the private equity giant Blackstone.
Because why should something belong to the people's imagination when it can belong to a spreadsheet? Why should a place hold memories when it can hold a leveraged buyout?
From the ports to the power lines, the farms to the islands, it's all for sale. We are merely tenants, watching as the title deeds to our own country are auctioned off to the highest global bidder.
Our icons aren't in museums; they're on the block. And the auctioneer's gavel never stops swinging.
