From an interview for
Intelligent Investor:
“
Now you had 10 years at TNT/Ansett through until 1994, when you left as Chief Operating Officer. You must have actually been in the thick of it with working for Peter Abeles and I guess, joint ventures with Rupert Murdoch. Did you get to know all those key players back in that journey?
I certainly did. It was an extraordinary education and a fantastic time. I learnt so much about life and business. Peter Abeles was a remarkable man whom I had nothing but the highest regard. I met Rupert Murdoch but he wouldn't remember. Certainly, the time with Sir Peter and those early building days of TNT as it went global was a real adventure. It was a fantastic time.”
