Judy Porter - a woman willing to sacrifice everything except the most basic luxuries necessary to preserve human dignity

I normally don't read The Australian (well, who does?) but the olds are in town and Dad bought it this morning.

Their colour piece for the interest rate rise story was about Judy Porter, a divorced mother of a 17 year old (called "Leify", which seems harsh) and a 19 year old. Her husband left so she needed to go into more debt to fix the house they'd bought to renovate, and then she went into hundreds of thousands of dollars further into debt for essentials like private school fees. The picture showed them in their lounge rooom, so blase about the stupendous view of Rose Bay they weren't even looking at it.

D'you know, she'll be so fucking skint she'll have to try shopping at Maroubra. She said that, not me.

I said "get fucked, and don't be so frickin' greedy."
