    No in the U.K.

    I worked for Aurora plc and they got bought out by Australian National Industries (ANI) and as ANI we’re majority owned by Packer then technically he was my boss, all be it a bit distant.

    One year in their ownership Packer decided to give a Christmas hamper to every employee of ANI world wide. Quite an expensive one too and this is an organisation with thousands of employees. He funded it himself rather than the company paying so it didn’t trigger off perk or tax issues.

    One family I knew ended up with 5 hampers because there were 5 family members working for ANI

    Sadly it was a one off because in the following year Packer sold his shares in the company
