Kerry Packer

COMMERCE - Kerry Packer:

"After his near fatal heart attack in 1990, whilst playing polo, he said 'I've been to the other side and let me tell you son, there's f... nothing there'."

Many people are going to remember Kerry Packer for many things. He made himself a billionnaire by buying back Channel Nine from Alan Bond after he had sold it to him originally and is reported to have said, "Thanks for your company." His quotes will be the thing which will resound in history. Things like ;"Never complain. Never explain." or, "Bite off more than you can chew, then chew like mad!" He will be remembered as a big man and his words will echo for a long time simply because he knew how to think big and was the first Australian to get that rich.
