Boganaire: The Rise and Fall of Nathan Tinkler

Wednesday 20 November 6: Facebook Twitter Delicious Reddit Digg what are these? Guests Paddy Manning Business Journalist. Credits Reporter Sheryle Bagwell.

Obamacare uptake hobbled by website rollout 6: Papers with James Carleton 6: Finance update with Elysse Morgan 6: Manning isn't able to get a higher view of what was going on and summarise it at regular intervals like Lewis or Barry does to keep the reader in touch with the overall situation but not enough to disengage from the main story. However this is a minor quibble in what is otherwise a really good book and an outstanding piece of journalistic research.

I hope Manning is able to continue doing research like this as it is vital to the health of any society to be able to lift a lid on what goes on behind the scenes in big business; both the good and the bad. Jun 11, Andrew Waltho rated it it was amazing.

Boganaire is a superb account of everything that's wrong with Australian business, the mining industry in particular. Manning describes Nathan Tinkler's charmed life, funded by other peoples' money with revealing clarity.

But at the same time, the notion of the boganaire — the bogan billionaire — is every bit as ridiculous as the aerofridge or the catrapeze. Bogans are meant to be poor. To add to the dichotomies, just consider the name of Nathan Tinkler.

It could almost be a Dickensian appellation, except that the reality of the man is almost entirely at odds with the twee ineffectuality conjured up by the polite first and almost comic second name. Tinkler is the young Australian who, notoriously — and extraordinarily offhandedly, as outlined by the journalist Paddy Manning in Boganaire — made a fortune one day and proceeded to lose it in various ways ever after.
