Atlassian has a market cap of about $72 billion. Mostly, his net worth would be tied in with his ownership as the founder of this heap of crap firm.
Most of these people aren’t worth like billions with money in the bank. It’s based on market valuation of the businesses they founded. It’s ‘paper’ money.
You spelled “Monopoly money” wrongly.
Firstly, he drinks his own bathwater so thinks Atlassian is headed for the moon based on his shining personality.
Secondly, how does he extricate even 5% without crashing the price and pissing off people who bought in on his pumping up of it’s prospects.

I don’t know current ASX rules, but I don’t think it could be listed on the ASX with that shateholding structure.
So what we’ve got is a tightly held stock with only 11% available on market outside those two. In truth there is probably only a tiny percentage of stock traded, which is what is driving the stock price.
The business fundamentals certainly aren’t.
More on the Anesthesia (Atlassian) fuckheads.
Their shareholding, according to the 2021 annual reports suggests they own about $16 billion of the stock tucked away in Class B.
However, the Oz says their net worth is about $20 billion. This could suggest the Bobbsey twins may have cashed in about $4 billion of the stock. Sounds plausible I guess.
JC,
It is hard to know about video footage in Afghan. Whilst you have to admire SAS fighting abilities you do have to wonder at their total lack of concern about destroying what could be serious evidence against them or their mates. To them it was a “souvenir”.
The footage of that helicopter incident should never have come to light. The guy whose head the camera was on is now an accomplice to the cover up of the shooting. The initial incident was investigated, without the footage, and obviously all there have given false statements. How that got to somebody else and ended up on ABC is mind boggling.
Ben RS got into trouble for items he hid in his garden. Another SAS guy, a witness against RS, had a wife who was talking about photos she had which were from Afghan.
If going to do dodgy stuff make sure you destroy the footage !

NT Police Commissioner Jamie Chalker met police before Zachary Rolfe charged with murder over Kumanjayi Walker
MATT CUNNINGHAM
DARWIN BUREAU CHIEF
Northern Territory Police Commissioner Jamie Chalker was involved in a meeting of senior police executives held just minutes before detectives were directed to charge Constable Zachary Rolfe with murder.
Police notes obtained by The Australian show senior police executives including Mr Chalker met in Deputy Commissioner Michael White’s office at 3.34pm on November 13, 2019, the afternoon Constable Rolfe was charged with the murder of Indigenous man Kumanjayi Walker.
Detectives investigating the case were called into the same office at 3.47pm – after Mr Chalker had left – where they were directed to arrest Constable Rolfe.
Independent Commissioner Against Corruption Michael Riches is expected to announce on Tuesday an investigation into the decision to charge Constable Rolfe with murder less than four days after he killed Mr Walker during a failed arrest attempt in the remote community of Yuendumu, about 300km northwest of Alice Springs.
Constable Rolfe this month was found not guilty of murder and the reserve charges of manslaughter and engaging in a violent act causing death. Mr Chalker last week said he had remained at arm’s length from the investigation and was “as shocked as anybody” when he learned the officer had been charged with murder.
Notes taken by Detective Acting Superintendent Kirk Pennuto detail the “private meeting” involving Mr Chalker and senior executives at NAB House in Darwin’s Smith St.
It is not known what was discussed at that initial meeting. Thirteen minutes later, after Mr Chalker left, Supt Pennuto, Commander Dole and Supt Kennedy were called into the office.
“1547 Meeting in office of DCOP White. Present are (Assistant Commissioner Nick) Anticich, (Deputy Commissioner Michael) Murphy, (Deputy Commissioner Michael) White, Kennedy, Dole, (Communications Director Rob) Cross + me,” the notes say.
The notes show at this meeting detectives were directed to arrest and charge Constable Rolfe amid concerns he would fly back to his parents’ home in Canberra.
“White states he has recent credible information that Rolfe is flying out of the NT to Canberra tomorrow morning,” the notes say. “White queries whether arrest is now appropriate on basis of DPP recommendations (and) travel info.”
Deputy Commissioner Murphy, Deputy Commissioner White and Assistant Commissioner Anticich then discuss the logistics of an arrest before agreeing it should be done as soon as possible.
“Anticich – ‘my view is we have to consider ‘going’ now’,” Supt Pennuto’s notes say.
“White – ‘it does look like he is travelling and an extradition would be a nightmare’.
“Murphy – ‘ok then’ – leaves room.
“Anticich – ‘what is the decision then?’.
“White – ‘we have to arrest. What else is reasonable?’.
“Anticich – ‘OK, we are arresting. Kirk, Doley, there is to be no communications prior but immediate comms after. There will need to be family advice plus the chief will need to know straight away’.
“White – ‘I guess we locate him, assemble arrest teams etc’.”
Assistant Commissioner Anticich and Mr Cross then discuss a communications strategy before the meeting is closed.
In a statement, Mr Chalker’s office said NT Police had provided a brief to the Director of Public Prosecutions, “who advised there was a prima facie case for a charge of murder to be laid”.
“The Commissioner had no involvement in this process.
“A meeting was held to advise senior members of the executive and discuss the operational aspects of the arrest and charging of Constable Rolfe. The Commissioner was not in this meeting.”
The statement did not directly address a question about what had been discussed at the earlier meeting attended by the Commissioner. It said the NT police force was providing information to the Coroner ahead of an inquiry in September and police would co-operate with any ICAC investigation.
The notes of another detective, Senior Sergeant Mark Malagorski, show investigators sought an opinion from the Director of Public Prosecution about a possible murder charge on Monday, November 11, 2019, less than two days after the shooting.
“Member reports A/Commander Martin Dole and D/A/Supt Kirk Pennuto returning from their meeting with DPP Director Jack Karczewski QC who recommended the charge of murder and matter needs to be before a jury,” Det Sen-Sgt Malagorski noted at 1.37pm on November 11.
“DPP request a brief of evidence COB Wednesday November 13, 2019!
“Interview to be conducted or offered to Constable Zac (sic) Rolfe by COB Tuesday November 12 2019. DPP will review the brief and will advise appropriate charge(s).”
Officers were then directed to be ready to charge Constable Rolfe at Alice Springs Airport if he tried to fly to Canberra. Instead he was directed to fly to Darwin.
The notes show there were discussions about negotiating an “arrest by appointment” at Darwin police station on Thursday, November 14. But the arrest was brought forward when it was learned Constable Rolfe planned to fly from Darwin to Canberra.
After his trial, Constable Rolfe’s barrister, David Edwardson QC, said the decision to charge his client was a disgrace and had occurred in “the absence of any meaningful investigation”.
The Australian this month revealed other detectives working on the investigation had detailed concerns about the haste with which he was charged. They were also concerned an opinion from the Director of Public Prosecutions had been sought so quickly.
In her official police statement, Detective Sergeant Isobel Cummins says: “On numerous occasions, I and other investigators had voiced our concerns regarding the rushed process … and the fact we were not comfortable with the current situation without a full assessment of the evidence and ability to investigate objectively.”

“The policy of shooting Japanese soldiers attempting to surrender, using the airdropped leaflets, is yielding the results you would expect. What do these fools think would happen?”
Australian soldier, in his diary.
There’s two problems KD.
1. If it becomes a known, entrenched habit the enemy might become somewhat reluctant to surrender, making more casualties on one’s own side.
2. It remains illegal.
3. When the other side does it like the SS at Malmedy(?) we purport to find it an atrocity.
KD, in those examples, the shooting of captured enemies occurs shortly after capture, when the animal spirits are still high. In the recent example, that mitigating factor is absent.

I thought the father was a British import working for Citibank here in Oz. He could have migrated to Freehills later on though (of course).
That’s not important though as the son is a absolute arsehole.
From TE’s link:
If you read this, which is a pissweak attempt to distance Chalker from dodgy politically-driven decision-making, in the context of this, from the NT Independent today:
Then there’s no doubt. Chalker is gonski. There are memes circulating already that Chief Minister Michael Gunner will throw Chalker (his former schoolmate) under the bus, and I reckon that is exactly what will happen.
Fair enough Dover. However, I will return to my other constant moan about video footage and what happened before and after, because we do not know (as opposed to being told, potentially by someone with an axe to grind) how long after any fighting finished the shootings occurred.

It is entirely possible that the Atlassian share price is underpinned by about 200 Sydney Eastern suburbs wankers who like to go to some gauche over-priced Hemmes restaurant, loudly order something outrageously expensive and then loudly tell everyone how smart they were by buying into Atlassian.
I believe I saw some being pulled out of a vehicle. Might be wrong. Also seem to recall them wearing zip ties too. So if you had the nerve to zip tie them but shoot them later, you’re probably in a bit of trouble.

Infantry is trained to enhance the shock of capture.
That’s when harsh treatment occurs such as dragging enemy to lie next to the corpses of dead comrades.
IF the leg shooting occurred, it would probably occur in that context immediately after capture. There’s no point doing it hours later, I think.
It’s in order to soften them up for interrogation taking advantage of the disorientation that getting captured causes.
Actual soldiers on this blog, rather than me, a bloke who did some part time soldering as part of a mid life crisis might add more on the likely timings and circumstances after a battle of such. I mostly speculate.
Covid vaccination commander Lieutenant-General John Frewen said Australia finally passed 95 per cent vaccination, but the booster rate was far behind.
I often think of the military when medical matters concerning my well-being arise.
Seems our military hierarchy are skilled at everything unrelated to war.
The logistics of taking prisoners will sometime outweigh the value of having them. Like having wounded people, it takes fit fighting soldiers to take them from the battlefield, and sometimes you can’t afford to lose them.

I’m sorry Old Bloke but I don’t follow the historical points you’re making about Ukraine.
Pogroms in areas with big Jewish populations began after the Russian empire expanded into new territories.
The Holodomor was about land ownership and collectivised agriculture. No doubt Jewish landholders were caught up in the Marxist famine but they weren’t the prime target.
Like the Polish, the Jews copped it both ways.

Noel Pearson was credited with writing an article in the Oz – this is fast turning into a war crimes trial, masquerading as a defamation action.
What’s a warble fly?

Er.. No.
He’s not been proved to be a criminal.
You should choose your words more carefully. BRS has serious form when it comes to taking action against those who say horrid things about him that are not true.
In Western Australian, a warble fly is a species of blowfly, that spends it’s days hanging round a sheep’s arZe. Hope this helps.
Atlassian is probably overvalued at the moment.
Their flagship software is quite expensive, and a lot of cheaper competitors are emerging with really good offerings.
Many customers are currently evaluating switching over. I don’t see their current revenue being maintained.
Are you drunk or just lying, you ridiculous piece of shit. I’ve never suggested BRS is a criminal. You are. you act like one every time you show up here. You lie, you cheat and you blowhard. These are all the traits of someone genetically disposed to acting out as a criminal.
Again, you attempted to try out your hypocrisy and lack of any standing as a decent commenter by suggesting the Ukrainian soldiers were acting illegally while on other occasions defending the SASS officer in the film perhaps shooting someone unarmed.
Driller, you have a criminal mind which is why the banks will never lend you a cent and any manager whoever does ought to be fired. You’re a dishonest piece of shit without an ounce of integrity. And you know what, it fun smacking you around as I and others have done over the years. Because we’ve changed you and your behavior. Recall the pubbling, the Croc Dundeeing and the general blowharding? How’s the red hot poker up you fat rear, Champ? 🙂
2 Dogs , it’s not as though they’re killing it on the revenue side of things either.
Atlassian is a highly over-valued asset designed to suck in capital from the likes of the Turnbulls in order to close power stations. It is also a not very nimble IT company.
The bubble will burst (sorry about the word ‘bubble’ JC, but it does resonate).
Hey Laz, you’re using the word against Atlassian, so be my guest.
Pretty bad stuff. They abuse the prisoners and then they shoot them in the legs and genitals. Some of the Russians appear to be in shock and near death
Yeah, shit happens when people get angry because you invade a country and start killing people…

In that case you should choose your words more carefully, lest you be sued (by mistake) by BRS, fresh from his deep pockets win over Ch9.
Oh dear, a most unfortunate choice of words by you.
Are you betting on this? Confident enough in your assumption to put $4 million on it?
An assertation that may take quite some effort to back up, and which under cross-examination may prove most difficult to defend.
Yet you’re unable to demonstrate even one lie by me. Dearie dearie me.
Again, this could prove to be a most unfortunate choice of words by you.
This is coming from someone who has spent the afternoon blowing hard about a non-existent video of BRS monstering prisoners. tsk tsk tsk!
Sorta makes you indisputably a blowhard.
So far they apply only to you. Who am I to dispute your claim these traits of yours are the hallmark of a criminal?
As Ark is prone to saying: You should learn to read carefully before commenting.
I was throwing doubt on the authenticity of the video.
(This makes you a double blowhard – just in one post, dearie me you’re not doing well)
He’s not an officer & it seems the film does not exist. (You blowhard)
Again, an unfortunate choice of words by you.
What a stupid comment. One you are unable to support.
Are you prepared to bet on this? Say $4 million that a bank would not be prepared to extend me credit?
Again, a most unfortunate & ill-advised choice of words by you.
Yet you have never scored a point over me. Dearie dearie me!
I’ve no idea what you’re talking about. Nor am I interested in a translation.
It would take someone a whole lot more masculine than you to change my behaviour. You don’t have what it takes. Something you’ll just have to deal with.
You don’t even have the bankbook to back the bets you make – This does not assist anyone to conclude you’re anything but a blowhard.
Nope, not at all. I made a mistake and owned up to it. That’s something you would never do, because you’re a dishonest dirtbag. Even then, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re a hypocrite nor lesson my arguement.
1. You’ve made comment supportive of the SAS with respect to very bad accusations
2. You made comments about cruelty of the Uke soldiers.
Lol. You blowhard.
You do, but let me explain again. You used would come on blowharding, boring us endlessly about your pubbling prowess, how you were the real Croc Dundee etc. You avoid that now because of the mocking you received.
FMD, you’re dickhead. The worst.
It must hurt being referred to as a blowhard, if your trying to use it against me. I must be honest though Driller. Someone else came up with that description of you and I took it up because it was so, so accurate. You also behave like a criminal.
That’s accurate, Zulu.
KD, a warble fly is an English subspecies of the bot fly. A nasty little tunnelling parasite, I’m sure you would agree. 🙂
Some months back, our resident gypsum-fuelled wrongologist decided on this here open thread, that Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE, aka Mad Cow Disease) was not caused by prions turning steers’ brains to mush. But was in fact a lethal adverse reaction to an alleged experimental warble fly vaccine. And that the mishap was covered up. By Spooks. And Flamers. Who were likely poisoned.
He couldn’t explain the cow-human species jump that triggered the great BSE scare in England, as beasts are not known to be in the business of sticking humans with warble fly vaccine needles.
Thus, the humble warble fly joins the pantheon of Grigs, taking its appropriate wrongful place amongst the Queensland Police’s traffic paddles, crystalline salt, carbohydrates, gypsum, Spooks, poisons and Flamers…
So you concede you lied. Fair call.
First I have to make a mistake. (Nice ALP style attempt at a strawman)
Another mistake you now have to own up to.
Actually, basing your argument on something you made up does lessen your argument.
It seems you’re switching to a “fake but true” angle?
(What could possibly go wrong with that?)
So what?
(I said the accusations are to date without substantiation – the same theme you’ve adopted for this thread.)
So what?I raised a query regards the authenticity of the video.
Your mouth has made a bet your bank account cannot back.
That pretty much ends you as a serious commenter.
Game Over.
Ah. Poisoned spook flamers. Again. Someone should Do Something.
Two cows in a English paddock 15 years ago, standing around near the fenceline watching the traffic go past.
One cow says to the other: ‘What do you think about this Mad Cow Disease?’
Cow 2: ‘What’s that?’
Cow 1: ‘Its a disease cows get from eating the wrong stuff. Affect the brain, and turns you crazy. Hence. Mad Cow Disease.’
Cow 2: ‘Doesn’t bother me, mate.’
Cow 1: ‘What? How can you say that? It turns cows insane! How can you say it doesn’t bother you?’
Cow 2: ‘Because I’m a tractor.’
Driller
You’re pathetic.
JC says: March 29, 2022 at 12:51 am
Coming from someone who cannot back their bets? Lol.
You’ll never have what it takes to back your mouth.
I own you.
Game Over.
Two cows in an Australian paddock, yesterday, standing around the fenceline watching the traffic go past. They do this for hours, chewing their cud.
Cow 1 turns to Cow 2 and goes; ‘MMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.’
Cow 2 looks back at Cow 1 and goes: ‘Read my mind, Daryl. Was just about to say that.’
Blowhard
Most accurate self-description on the Cat in ages:
Well done that Cat!
the great covid reset
The UK energy system is dysfunctional and on the verge of collapse.
They can’t say they weren’t warned. Repeatedly.
But watch who cops it in the neck – the wukkas and the peasants.
Time out for a couple of hours – headache.
Cow 1 turns to Cow 2 and goes; ‘MMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.’
Cow 2 looks back at Cow 1 and goes: ‘Read my mind, Daryl. Was just about to say that.’
Trans friendly cow joke, nice.
I’m still baffled why you would pay for Atlassian’s software.
Unless it’s specialised stats stuff or a phone app, you can just write a macro for it.
Instant messaging has been around for decades.

Did not get the Medal of Honour but the most awarded medals of any US soldier.
Rubbish.
They’ve pushed that line about any number of American soldiers.
Famous for criticising the conduct of the war whilst still serving.
Yeah, as if they’d let someone get away with that.
Unless he was a Spook and that was part of his cover story.
Good old Dickless Ed. If in doubt, spin about spooks, and add in flamers for good measure. Never any actual evidence, though. Just random assertions.
Read up those memoirs of Australian soldiers who served on the Kokoda Trail yet, Dickless?
Special Ed wants a down vote button? Only thing he could win. Look I got the most votes. Idjit.
