Well done Hugh, obviously one of the most challenging tasks for a News Corporation journalist was to contribute to Rupert's Annual Report. Great initiative getting your passport ready in such short time for the international flight from Darwin to Honolulu, and then getting off in Townsville!
Loved reading about Anna Murdoch putting on a pot of boiling water on the stove so it looked like something was happening if Rupert arrived and dinner hadn't yet been cooked.
It seems wives, as well as Queenslanders, are expendable. The day we read your story on Rupert and wife number 2, he pops the question to wife number 5!
I never found out Chris, but it could have been anyone form the telex operator to a journalist with a good friend on The Age.
Please note Frank Palmos's comment: that Rupert did it!
