Kerry Packer dead

Kerry Packer dead at age 68

Quote:
MEDIA magnate and Australia's richest man Kerry Packer has died, the Nine Network has announced.
Today show announcer Richard Wilkins said he had just been handed official confirmation of Mr Packer's death at 68.

The statement from Tony Ritchie, Nine head of news, said: "Mrs Kerry Packer and her children James and Gretel sadly report the passing last evening of her husband and their father Kerry."
Wonder what impact this will have (if any) on the Australian markets ?

I'm anxious to see what happens tomorrow, especially as I'm holding PBL.

An amusing piece of reporting on this story. It seems The Age have decided to try and report in native accents. This quote from Tony Greig, South African, had me smiling:

"Benaud's long-time colleague Tony Greig said it was a "very said day" for all of the commentary team."
