Default Long shot but someone might be able to help me.

I was in Australia last year and was on a train in Perth. I got talking to this man man about the economy and jobs available. He was telling me about his history and it turned out he owned quite a lot of newspapers, tv stations, basically media, before selling them. He was also quite high up in KPMG (if i remember correctly). He quit though and started a metal business which he said is quite successful. I never actually got his name so if you think you know the persons name that i was talking to could you let me know, would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt

I think someone may have had a play with you...but maybe not!?
good luck in your search, but it sounds like they told you the story of Kerry Packers life, not theirs.

Cheers,

Jamie

You would think he was lieing but he was with his family, daughter, grand kids etc. He was a fairly old guy. Just checked, packers dead so it certainly wasn't him.
