I want to make sure that no-one I care about goes there lest they develop the same accent.

He was born in Eastern Europe in 1931 and after WW2 fought against the Palestinians before arriving in Australia in 1952 aged 21.<br />However, irrespective of where he was born, his position at the top of Westfield has absolutely nothing to do with any decisions made by any independent directors representing the saps who provide the equity capital to support his empire. His situation is not comparable with the other CEOs in your article.<br /><br />I trust that you will keep an eagle eye on the proceedings of the US Senate Committee.<br /><br />Cheers<br />R Hi Stephen,
Please stop writing that Frank Lowy was born in Australia. He was born in Eastern Europe in 1931 and after WW2 fought against the Palestinians before arriving in Australia in 1952 aged 21.
However, irrespective of where he was born, his position at the top of Westfield has absolutely nothing to do with any decisions made by any independent directors representing the saps who provide the equity capital to support his empire. His situation is not comparable with the other CEOs in your article.

I trust that you will keep an eagle eye on the proceedings of the US Senate Committee.

Cheers
