For those readers quite reasonably asking themselves if we've developed an unhealthy preoccupation with (what's left of) Blue Sky Alternative Investments, Brisbane's very own Blackstone (bahahaha!), we must respectfully dissent. We'll stop writing about these clowns just as soon as their woodwork is fully flushed of talkative termites.

We were – but shouldn't have been – staggered by our discovery yesterday that Blue Sky founder Mark Sowerby rented space for the company's office in February 2015 from its auditor Ernst & Young – for a decade, at an annual rate of $899,400, rising 4 per cent on July 1 of each year.
