曾庆红之子曾伟和太太蒋梅,最近第三次向澳大利亚悉尼东区沃拉拉市政府(Woollahra Council)提出他们位于东悉尼的超级豪宅翻新计划,沃拉拉市政厅在周一晚(10月11日)的会议上第三次拒绝了他们的申请。消息一出,澳洲各大新闻网站点击率攀升,有关文章顿时登上排行榜首。
  由于豪宅‘克雷格- Y- 莫尔’是一栋著名的百年老屋,又在卖房价格上创了记录,使其成为澳洲第二最贵民宅,曾氏夫妇的翻新计划就格外令人注意。悉尼晨峰报周一有关该夫妇第三次提出翻新要求的消息成了所有媒体转载的内容,酿成悉尼一大社会新闻。众目聚焦沃拉拉市政府10月11日晚上的讨论会。结果,沃拉拉市政府第三次拒绝了曾氏夫妇的申请,顿成城中话题,登上悉尼晨锋报、墨尔本时代报、布里斯本时代点击率的榜首,在今日西澳网站上也攀升到第三位。很多澳洲人士为百年老屋‘克雷格- Y- 莫尔’的幸存感到高兴。

曾庆红之子曾伟,英文名亚瑟(Arthur)和他的妻子蒋梅,在2008年耗资3240万澳币(合人民币2.5亿)购买了位于东悉尼Point Piper区沃尔斯利街的豪宅‘克雷格- Y- 莫尔’。自买下这栋豪宅以来,曾氏夫妇已两次向所在地的沃拉拉市政府提出翻新要求。由于翻新计划在很多处不符合民宅建筑规格要求,特别是曾氏夫妇的新宅施工涉及挖掘砂岩深至基岩,需要挖掘2600立方土石,这在建筑规定上被视为“过量的开挖现场 ”,是禁止的。因此他们的豪宅翻新计划前两次都遭到沃拉拉市政府的拒绝。
  据报导,曾伟和蒋梅因购买这栋豪宅而在澳洲拿到商业移民的身份。2009年,澳洲媒体曝光了曾氏夫妇在澳洲的置业移民后,使其父曾庆红在中共权利圈中颇为狼狈,曾庆红曾被要求交代资金来源,并被质疑是否秘密转移资金。
曾伟家庭的发言人盖文‧斯劳特说,这家人无法接受采访,因为他们都在中国。当盖文‧斯劳特被问及曾伟靠什么谋生,他说:“我不问他们做什么 …在中国做什么的问题,他们在那里是他们的事。”
  一位不愿透露姓名的澳洲人士对曾氏夫妇计划推倒三千两百四十万的豪宅,再以5百万造新宅的工程表示吃惊,他告诉本报记者:“这是非常昂贵的民宅工程。当然,作为前中国国家副主席曾庆红的儿子,这也就不难理解了”。他说:“在专制极权国家,国家利益转为政府官员的私人财产,令到家人受益是完全可能的。难怪这对夫妇有如此雄厚的经济实力。”他进一步说:“这种投资方式很像是资金转移,我听说过不少这样的事。从中国得到了钱,需要找到转移的方式,这种建豪宅与在赌场里的洗黑钱都是出于同样的目的,只是钱的数量不同而已。”
  许多国内人士看到这则消息后纷纷发表意见。有人说:“一面高唱从来没有‘救世主’一面又高唱中国出了个‘大救星’,一面骂美国,一面捞了老百姓的血汗钱要开溜到西方国家。虚伪的党啊” 。有人说:“他儿子怎么赚的那么多钱?很值得调查。是不是在国内拆迁拆惯了,这次拆迁到澳洲去了?” 还有人说:“从小接受的教育是共产党领导穷苦百姓翻身得解放。看看现在,贪官污吏一大片,一代比一代多,一年比一年多,事实证明这个体制已烂到根,这个党已腐败到骨髓里,已经从骨髓里流出了脓水,里面已经坏死、解体。人已经治不了,因为恶事做绝,天要灭它。”

Couple try again with plan to demolish and rebuild home they bought for $32m

Plans to demolish ... Craig-y-Mor.



A powerful Chinese couple's plan to demolish one of Sydney's most expensive houses will be decided by Woollahra Council tonight.

Zeng Wei, also known as Arthur, and his wife, Jiang Mei, want to knock down Craig-y-Mor in Wolseley Road, Point Piper, which they bought two years ago for $32.4 million. They plan to replace it with a modern five-level, eight-bedroom home, costing $5 million.

This will be the pair's third attempt to get the plans approved, after earlier incarnations were rejected because the replacement house was declared too big. They originally planned to have two swimming pools and a larger house, but scaled this back to one pool.

Craig-y-Mor's planned replacement, designed by architect Stephen Gergely.



The house still exceeds planning rules in many aspects, but the architect for the couple, Stephen Gergely, argues that the design sits comfortably among the mega-mansions of Wolseley Road, one of the 10th most expensive addresses in the world. The couple, aged 42 and 38, have two young sons. They live in China but are believed to be preparing to move to Sydney.

One neighbour, who asked not to be named, said ''they have paid a staggering amount of money to knock over a very nice house''.

The house was built in 1908, and redesigned by the architect Leslie Wilkinson in the 1960s, but it is not heritage listed. It is known for its high ceilings, bay windows, arches and a colonaded central courtyard. It has been lived in by the consul general of Japan, the stockbroker Rene Rivkin and the stevedoring company owner Chris Corrigan.

The construction of the new house will involve digging into the sandstone bedrock to allow two levels to be built underground, including a massive garage. The excavation will remove as much as 2600 cubic metres of earth, described by the council as an ''excessive amount of excavation for the site''.

At a council meeting on September 27, the Greens councillor Nicola Grieve described it as ''long wall mining in Point Piper'' and suggested that the owners may need to seek a mining licence.

Ms Jiang is a director of a $HK32 billion ($4.2 billion) Hong Kong-listed development company that builds shopping malls underneath main highways in bustling wholesale business centres in large and medium cities across China, often converting civil defence shelters into shopping centres.

A spokesman for the family, Gavin Slaughter, said the family were unable to be interviewed because they were in China.

Asked what Mr Zeng did for a living, he said: ''I don't ask them questions of what they do in China … what they do over there is their business.''

If the council rejects the plans tonight, the couple can appeal to the Land and Environment Court.
