A wealth podcaster has issued a grovelling apology for calling Aussies ‘idiots’ in a public argument over housing affordability.
But She’s On The Money host Victoria Devine’s apology video featured her covered in bling, including pearls, diamond rings and a Rolex watch, leading to questions about whether she truly understood the hurt she had caused.

Fox asked her if he could post that publicly, Devine said yes …
