Frank Packer

] On his death he passed his empire to Kerry, as he had fallen out with his eldest son Clyde in 1972. In 1992, journalist Max Walsh told the Media Inquiry that Packer exerted undue newsroom influence. "Sir Frank was knee-deep in [the] editorial policy of "the Telegraph"," Walsh said. [House of Representatives Select Committee on the Print Media 1992, "News and Fair Facts: The Australian Print Media Industry", Report, AGPS, Canberra, p.263]

Packer was inducted into the America's Cup Hall of Fame in 1999.
