- Highlights of Kerry Packer's 1991 House of Reps Select Committee on Print Media Appearance. He shows that he is not only opposed to government intevention that disadvantages him. It also includes perhaps the most famous Australian anti-government quote, where Packers says that anyone who pays more tax than they can get away with needs their head examined.
Kerry was Australia's best businessman, second to non, took no shit from anyone, full respect to the man
“I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t want to minimise their tax, you don’t spend the money well, I don’t think I should be donating extra” 😂😂
Love him or hate him, you can’t deny that was a massive truth bomb to drop in the heart of government #emotionaldamage
But when trump says the same everyone thinks he’s a Cnut.
Yeah maybe don't use quotation marks if you can't even get the quote right 🤣
@@headwerkn Truth bomb, lol. He was nothing more than a common thug caught brawling, threatening to kill journalists, strong-arming his way around, involved in organised crime and drug trafficking.
I thought the ambulance with a defibrillator was good use of taxpayer money
Every time you guys pass a law you need to repeal one. Love it !!!!!
just like cluttering, in with the new and out with the old!
Need a law for that. KP is great
regulations are written in blood. that would be disastrous
Legend! Not many men around like this anymore!!!
He'd be cancelled today.......can't be telling it as it is
respect to him as he sits there on his own and tells it how it is.
...according to self interest
He wiped the floor with them.. Kerry was toying with these fools
💯% Boss..."Brilliant man, definition of turning the tables on them."
The Best prime minister we never had.
Get real…. A fat rich man looking after the country?!
If we had a politician like Kerry Packer, the country would run so much better x. RIP Mr Packer x
Need more like this bloke, all weak sheep now days
Top drawer. All the truth in one inconvenient package.
Simply Gold! one of the greatest Australians just an icon. RIP
The Peter Costello bit is absolutely golden.. the high of hypocrisy
Absolute Legend .. I used to see Mr Packer at The Australian Golf Club when I worked there and believe me you knew when he came to the club to play !!
what a legend! the last sentence he spoke here is GOLD!
Kerry Packer is the kind of leadership Australia needs.
You're delusional champ. Kerry Packer was a well-known arsehole who no one wanted to work for.
You are stupid if you think that.
As a government you're not spending it that well that we should be donating extra.....AMEN!!!
Things like this make you realise that nothing has changed.
Kerry kept these fools on their toes. Mr Packer was an absolute unit who stands alone and face these fools head on and not holding back. Legend 👏
This guy was an absolute warrior. He put these fools in their place and made them look like idiots
Love it
They make themselves look like idiots
He was also a condescending arsehole with no regard for anyone or anything else except making money. He was a prick of a father, and his son is still battling the demons of his childhood.
Lmfao, warrior? He was nothing more than a common thug caught brawling, threatening to kill journalists, strong-arming his way around, involved in organised crime and drug trafficking. The only reason you praise thugs like these is because he's on your side. Common criminals.
No he wasn't, he was a privileged entitled fat pig and those were his good qualities.
you can see on many people in their face when they speak, if they are an ahole. packed was def an ahole
Legend. Called it like a boss.
Kerry packer you should of been prime minister
This is absolute gold! From a pom he was right in Oz 30 years ago and the same applies to the entire Western world right up to today
There is not enough tax paid by the top end of town all over the world. Laws have to be focused on that. Not absolute gold……it’s a fat rich man using sound bites to defend minimising taxation on his company.
@@JD-jg6ov statist wants more tax dollars to dump down the sewers.
As owner of the Channel Nine Network in Oz with the rights to the cricket coverage he also invented One Day International cricket and the whole concept of limited overs to be played in the day/night format which revolutionised the game.
How can you be this dim to be hoodwinked by this piece of lard? He was nothing more than a common thug caught brawling, threatening to kill journalists, strong-arming his way around, involved in organised crime and drug trafficking.
@@JD-jg6ov The entire economy is dependent on 'growth', which means western countries have to invite unprecedented immigration just so the economy grows by 0.1%, because the negatives don't kick in for a few years, which is another government's problem to deal with, and of course the future governments solution will be more immigration to stimulate 'growth'. Meanwhile, they just ignore every immediate negative effect because 'diversity is a strength'.
Western governments have long been playing pass the parcel with their economies since WW2, hoping the music doesn't stop on their watch or they'll be first against a wall. Well now the music is slowing down, and when it stops, all bets are off.
Wholly agree, Ive never had a problem paying tax, just a big problem with how useless governments waste our taxes.
never see the likes of him again.... the only CEO corperate man that the people that worked for him actually liked him.
Kerry Packer a sharp, brilliant business man.
Peter Costello in this video is now chairman of the Nine Entertainment Company (NEC) from 2016
A true australian legend kerry miss ya mate give it to the pollies
What a legend this guy was
Its Gold this Video. Great Man he was.
RIP
He had balls to tell it as is was / against those public servants
Inspirational stuff !! KP was a legend
If only we had him now, to keep things in line, keep these career politicians in check
The career politicians are only there for one reason. - They stuff all bout how to do anything else that peole will actually value when given the choice.
He was nothing more than a common thug caught brawling, threatening to kill journalists, strong-arming his way around, involved in organised crime and drug trafficking. He can't even keep himself in check and he isn't going to do anything to politicians. Good riddance that the fatty.
@@Rob-fx2dwyou okay man?
@@markedgecliff7412 What about you ? Do you believe politicians add net value to the economy or on net just reduce the value people create?
@@Rob-fx2dwbrother… politicians help only themselves. They could not possibly give less of a fuck about you and me.
He was a legend for a reason. We need peeps like him to stand up to the abhorrent govt reps and ministers.
Politicians with a spine is what we need.. this guy was class
@@GolfingInParadise783 You realise rich people like him are buying govt reps and ministers right? They're not heroes of the people sticking it to the evil government. They are literally buying the government and pass laws that benefit them. STOP IDOLISING THE ULTRA RICH.
"As a government you're not spending it that well that you deserve extra" just marvelous
He is still even though he’s passed on one of the greatest and manliest blokes ever in Australia.
This inquiry shows the abject ignorance of those questioning Packer. Kerry spoke absolute sense and shone above the politicians trying their best.
Only if your rich. The average person can't afford the lawyers to minimise tax.
Pity his son was a flop
the whole family was farked
I liked Kerry, but but he didn’t pay his way and left it up to the rest of us.
Should be more like him, legend
Today Australia has rules like GAAR to try and claim that avoiding taxation through legal means if done only for the purpose of avoiding tax and no bonafide business purpose, shall still be taxable at the full rates.
I've always said what he said at the end. They make too many laws. Why not working on removing old laws that are crazy and known by nobody
Kerry Packer. Worth 100 current day politicians. Not in the financial sense either just honestly and integrity. Values that have no meaning anymore.
He would have made a great PM!
At 7:05 ... the guy over KP's shoulder. A very BOOM moment. Met him once in a restaurant in Sydney. Talked to him at the bar , waiting for my date to turn up. He sent a bottle of champagne over and gave me the thumbs up. Top lad.
I never get sick of watching this,what a bunch of tools he made them look like
Those politicians look look so silly & stupid! Kerry could have been a prime minister of Australia right after this enquiry!!!
He would be rolling in his grave, How the Country is run atm !!!!!
Well, Kerry Packer didn’t need to avail himself of any public services - like public hospitals, schools, welfare and so on - and didn’t trouble himself thinking about their value when trying to minimize his taxes. Idiots always seem to like populist billionaires for some reason, even as they get rich and keep it at those idiots’ expense.
I love this man Kerry Packer now thats a buisness man and a good man doesnt take any shit from anybody !!! Should be more men like him there isnt anyone close even in Parliment ...I miss KP
God I wish he was around now We need more Kerry Packers..
Yes, we need more fat billionaires who destroy anyone who questions their power.
Clive Palmer.
Of course you wish a tax evading, thug like him was around. He was nothing more than a common thug caught brawling, threatening to kill journalists, strong-arming his way around, involved in organised crime and drug trafficking.
Kerry Packer was just playing with these fool politicians ! And we vote for these people OMG !!
That last line was Fucking gold........ Mic Drop worthy.
A very successful (mostly) businessman being lectured about tax by a politician is about as hypocritical as you can get. Those little piggies all had their snouts firmly in the trough, snuffling away!
Absolutely wonderful. More power to him.
Take a good look now for you will never see the like again
Kerry Packer....I have seen a couple videos of him recommended to me by YT. Great man. But what I remember him for is for changing the game of Cricket. The rebel series in coloured clothing was revolutionary. RIP Kerry Packer.
Let's see them try to break Murdoch's monopoly.
The reason Murdoch has his monopoly is because they caved.
@@tin-n-tan You changed your name from the Chinese currency.
No chance: Murdoch versus Politicians ! Murdoch every time, he would be dealing with stupid politicians ! Politicians come and go, Murdoch has seen them all off !
@@Bruce15485 That's what I said diddle I?
Doesn't mean he's not fulla shite.
What Murdoch monopoly?
Suck it up Princesses.....KP we need more of your caliber
He was bloody grateful for the taxpayer funded ambulance, with the defibrillator, that saved his live!
Good on yer, KP! From England.
Great person!
And the Internet hit like a freight train several years later .. He never saw it coming
More people like him please, I love Australia but dammm how much stupidity in the system
The system is screwed
We need more Kerry’s now in 2023
He’s a mix of James Bond, Donald trump and a touch of Prince Charles humor. Love him.
Prince Charles... you boron
Prince Charles. How dare you compare this legend with Prince Charles. LOL
@@carlshmylo6228 boron ?
These are good qualities to have?
more like a bond villain.
Born before his time we need a bloke like him
The system allowed this ass to thrive, don't hate the player hate the game.
Fantastic performance, however he was proven to be lying and withdrew his bid not long after
I wonder what the great man would say to elbow today.. vote no..
That last line was fire
He didn't suffer fools gladly and that is why he was keen to get out of there.
He wasnt a legend. He just knew how to work the system. He never gave you anything stop saying he was your mate hes a legend. Government saw the loop holes tried to change it and he kicked up a stink
What a MAN. R.I.P KERRY.
best line saved for last......'' you're not spending it that well that we should donate any extra '',...still holds true in 2023....
RIP. Who said bad people lived long??? Politicians are slaves to money, too. Money talks in every country and BS walks.
Everything he said was right. Of course that grub Costello was there askibg a stupid question. None of those clowns had any valuable input.
No it wasn’t, he was lying about there not being an arrangement with Black, withdrew bid a few weeks later
I love this guy!
Passed away in 2005 when you probably were born. This media tycoon was a beast!
@@NJTDover What I love about him is that he is brutally honest, what he said is still true to this day!
Young person on the board looked like he’s agreed with him
Here we are 2023, and what he was saying still stands true, only now we don't have anyone with the standing and backbone to push back against legislators of outrageous law and government overreach.
Corruption has the same structure as it did 100's of years ago. Unfortunately its true that History does repeat itself
yes we do clive palmer and pauline hanson and thats it.
Love KP ... absolute legend !! Miss him alot !
The last great alpha male Australian facing down a bunch of quislings.
As an English man, the only things I knew about Kerry Packer were that he was an Australian billionaire, and that he was an avid gambler, and when bored with a boasting American on the same poker table he was sat at one time, asked the American how much he was worth. When the American replied that he was worth $50m, Packer told him he would flip a coin with him for his entire fortune.
That story may be BS, but this is the first time I've ever bothered to witness the man himself, and I'm impressed. It's also a shame to see that Australian politicians are just as scummy as English politicians.
Just imagine KP were still alive today to see the government spending during covid.
1991 and still applies till today stronger than ever. Australia learn from this man!
Ps. His last statement, absolute Gold
That final line is an all time classic!
God I loved Packer, he was a no nonsense fair dinkum Aussie who didn't mince his words, said it exactly as it was. He was dead right on all this ridiculous regulations, not to mention the waste of tax payers money.
Kerry packer,just class. Like me he is his own man.long live the mem.
Oh I miss Kerry, his wit, wisdom and down to earth common sense.
That smile on Michael Lee’s face towards the end of this, (almost one of Awe IMO) seemed to sum up that these politicians were just way out of their depth and way out of their league. Packer was right; it’s not like they’re doing such a great job that, regarding income tax, he should be paying any extra. Bravo!👏👏
Betoota Advocate showed Packer vs Murdoch in Super League Wars
He would have made a great PM
Runs rings round them
He knocked a bloke off his push bike in country Victoria and he died.
Packer never faced charges, money fixes all problems.
And then he gets a free kidney from his pilot.
Packer was a tax avoider of olympic proportions. He could sfford the best accountants and lawyers. He even had the taxpayer pick up the tab for his funeral! What a joke to hold up his greed as something to applaud.
Not sure why you’d post that on YT shorts but ok.
😂😂😂
@@-ShootTheGlass- , not sure why you're policing y t, but go for it sunshine 😉
shut the guy down like a boss!
@5:00 you are correct Mr Packer thankyou for having a spine and believing in our great country for everything it stands for even if these people that your talking to don't, and seem to be constantly undermining it
Many of these idiots on this committee boasted about how they were going to 'grill' Packer. They got spit-roasted instead. Love it.
Need more people like mr packer legend
Kerry Packer is right !!!!
A thug, a bully, and without all that money his behaviour would never have been tolerated.
Poor you. You like your heroes boring and effeminate like Bill Gates?
