		JAMES PACKER: My dad occasionally gave me a hard time but I must say that when I needed him to be supportive, when I needed him as a son or as a businessman, when I needed his support, he was always supportive.
		JAMES PACKER: I think dad was a shy person, was much shyer than people would realise and it’s funny because, for someone who has occupied as many column inches as dad has occupied, he really didn’t seek publicity and I think that he preferred not to have it.
		JAMES PACKER: He was larger than life in all those areas because he could be literally so charming, so charming, I mean world world world class and he could be terrifying and both of those approaches could make the person sitting on the other side of the desk a little less sure of themselves.

	Kerry Packer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although Packer's reputation as an astute businessman was legendary and he did make some good investments, he was by no means a self-made man -- his grandfather and his father Frank Packer had built up the Consolidated Press empire and its related holdings over many decades.
		Moreover, Packer was not the first choice to take over the running of the family's business empire -- in fact his father had intended that Kerry's older brother Clyde Packer would take over the company, but Clyde fell out with his father in the early Seventies and left Australia for good.
		Packer received $800 million in cash before receiving a free 37% equity stake that put a debt-included value of $500 million on the Nine Network, which was by then included Channel Nine in Brisbane.

		It would seem that those insisting that James has the goods to take over PBL are all employees or close business associates who cannot (like Mitchell) afford to say no. But maybe JP will become a bit more scary when he truly controls the wealth.
		Frank Packer’s nickname for son Kerry in earlier days was ‘’boofhead'’ BTW, but I suppose if he had seen Kerry’s financial success he would have changed his opinion but may well have told us us all he thought Alan Bond was the generous contributor to the Kerry Packer empire.
