"As the child of a father who came to Australia in 1948 as a refugee from Palestine and built himself into a successful businessman, I know that being successful in Australia is not the product of belonging to rich and prosperous families, but rather is the result of hard work and diligence," Joe told the Institute of Economic Affairs in London in 2012 in his now infamous "Age of Entitlement " speech.
"You don't have to answer to anyone - no boss, no smiling HR assassin, no bus driver or train ticket Nazi. No, just yourself - and the taxman."
Joe's dad owned a deli in Chatswood then a real estate agency in Naremburn.
