"‘There’s a theme here,’ Owen adds. ‘The media deals [selling television and radio assets in 1987] came out of the failure to buy the Seven network ahead of Skase. By biding his time Kerry was able to get better assets at a better price. The Cat deal came out of a failure to get the franchise the first time around. It’s a question of biding your time.’"
