Kerry Packer’s Political Philosophy

Kerry Packer, the ultimate Australian. He was an Australian who stood up, had a go, and succeeded! We need more Australians like him.

ED: I think we need stronger leaders like Kerry Packer guiding the industry here in Australia today. His no-nonsense approach, business acumen, and willingness to call out government overreach were qualities that are sorely lacking in many of our current industry figures. Having re-watched the memorable footage of Packer fronting a parliamentary committee, firmly and eloquently telling our Federal Government members exactly what he thought about proposed legislative changes he believed were unfair. It was a masterclass in speaking truth to power, something we could use a lot more of in today’s political and business landscape.
