“Opposition Leader #PeterDutton failed to declare for two years his #interest in a #FamilyTrust that operated lucrative #ChildcareBusinesses when he was a #CabinetMinister, a #FourCorners #investigation has found.
Documents obtained by Four Corners and ABC Investigations show that while Mr Dutton's register of interests disclosed his wife #Kirilly's interests in childcare operations at the time, he did not declare between 2014 and 2016 that he was a beneficiary of the #RHTFamilyTrust that owned the businesses, as required by parliamentary rules.
The investigation also analysed more than 20 years of property records tied up in complicated and opaque trust structures and found that the Dutton family, with Peter Dutton's father #BruceDutton, made almost $15 million in profit from #buying and #selling private childcare #businesses as well as dozens of #residential #property deals.”
Remember the quote about not listening to the ABC? The Family Trust issue is a measure of #character according to Judge #MargaretWhite.

Newly published study explores mechanisms behind purchases made in games/apps (IAP).
those with a need for popularity more likely to buy
those with greater social competence less likely to buy
!["This study also considers the possibility that other factors may mediate the relationship between competitive attitudes and in-game impulse purchases. Specifically, given the relationship between competitive attitudes and the desire to be liked by others, this study incorporates the need for popularity into the research model as a mediator and social competence as a moderator. While the need for popularity has previously been linked to impulse buying in the context of fashion products (Cengiz, 2017), it has not been examined in relation to video game purchases. [Note: The following sentence is highlighted.] Players may be motivated to buy certain in-game content to become or remain popular, and this behavior could vary based on their level of social competence, which reflects their ability to navigate social interactions successfully."](https://games.ngo/system/media_attachments/files/113/947/260/540/574/590/original/8f3cc92174f6e0e9.png "\"This study also considers the possibility that other factors may mediate the relationship between competitive attitudes and in-game impulse purchases.
