The 73-year-old business magnate, who will helm the revived Channel 9 reality show after playing the same role in the UK version, announced his arrival in what many saw as a tone-deaf tweet on Thursday.
One user replied that there were “25,000 Aussies stranded abroad, and you take up a spot on a flight”. “Daughter can’t travel across states for her dad’s funeral but you’re allowed in. All for a tired TV show to laugh at Z-list celebs,” he said. 25k Aussies stranded abroad, and you take up a spot on a flight. Daughter can't travel across States for her Dad's funeral but you're allowed in. All for a tired TV show to laugh at z list celebs.Others suggested the tweet showed a lack of empathy. “Lord Sugar tweets before thinking it through,” one person said. “Many Australians cannot get home because of lack of flights and the cost of the flights.
Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack announced this week that the cap would be lifted to 6000. NSW is taking the brunt of the arrivals at 350 passengers a day, while Perth is accepting 525 a week. Brisbane and Adelaide have a limit of 500 passengers a week.
Aussie’s desperate to come home , and some how Lord Sugar gets a seat . Boarder control sounds like Dutton knows something about this .
Lets get some facts. No one is stranded. They just don’t want to pay $10k-$20k for the ticket. He did.
It’s business.
Airlines are not charities they are a business and couldn't care less who they sell a ticket to just so long as they make some money
He's stolen the flight from a working class expat who's been stranded overseas waiting with his family for 6 months to return home. It's the rich walking all over the working class for money. Discrimination
Get over it. I’m sure he would have been sitting in First Class and not fist class. It’s he who would have been subsidising the economy passengers. Too much hate.
This is bullshit , Aussie’s desperate to get back here , and his taken up a seat . Morrison and Dutton what’s going on abcnews sunriseon7 theprojecttv
Is this Dutton again ?
