In the can-do spirit of the modern AUKUS era, American Express and QANTAS have allegedly teamed up with the express desire to somehow assist the business that I don’t have.

I’m not sure about the form that this massively undeserved leg-up will take, but I have an inkling that a small plastic card with my name on it is out there champing at the bit to guarantee my future success.

… subject to terms and conditions that can change at any time…. And of course there would be an allegedly small fee to grease the slipway.

My astute readers may have already noticed that this critically important yellow brick runway is paved by arcane services like access to “exclusive” waiting rooms that serve small triangular crustless sandwiches, a late edition of a some kind of Australian nationalist newspaper akin to a right wing version of Pravda.

Plus free money that becomes decidedly unfree if you can’t pay it back on time… subject to terms and conditions. Best of all, in the unlikely event that you cannot meet the full payment deadline, the line of credit will start to assist you in much the same way as melanoma.

So before we take the plunge into a quick perusal of the terms and conditions associated with this amazing offer. Let me save us some time by letting you into a little secret gotcha.

In this Shakespearean Bucket of legal speak is a clause referring to another set of terms and conditions…. A bit like a chain letter really 🤪
