Mr Kerry Packer
I am saddened to hear of the death of Mr Kerry Packer.
One of Australia's most successful businessmen and a generous philanthropist, Mr Packer made a significant contribution to the Australian media industry and the community over many years.
His loss will be felt deeply by those who knew him well.
My sincere thoughts and condolences go to the Packer family – Kerry's wife Ros, their children Gretel and James and the extended family.
