Kerry Packer Dies « Thread Started on Dec 28, 2005, 3:00am »
Media Mogul Kerry Packer has passed away . Hard as nails and Astute as a Business Tycoon . Packer held court in all aspects .. He took on all and usually won. His empire was built on hard slog and with a typical Aussie style of do the deal and take the risk .. His empire crossed media, gambling , publishing , sport and horse racing amongst the collection of industries he had a hand in ..
He was a huge influence on many people and his word carried weight reguardless. he will be missed , and should go down as one of the great Aussie Icons ..
Love him or hate him, he was reguarded as one of those ussies that jut got things done .. He will be hard to replace ..
