Great. But only $800k?

Not before time men had some of the astronomical cancer funds directed to their problems.

800,000 that’s it really, you have to be kidding. And that’s the value of a man. $800,000 you do know what a man goes through with this disease and that’s it.

The economy would crash if a cure for cancer is found, why would the gov wanna rush it

So Fox gets a free kick of $30m but prostrate barely empties the petty cash tin for a measly $800k. There’s definitely “something rotten in the state of Australia”......With apologies to Mr W Shakespeare.

That's a pathetic amount.

Perspective: They gave $30 million to show more women's sport on pay TV
