KERRY PACKER BACKS DEVILS

Did the late media mogul Kerry Packer sell his soul to the Devil ? On the occasion that he died and was revived , he announced that there was nothing on the other side, as he had been there and back. However, Little Darwin wonders if he made a Faustian  deal with Beelzebub to look after and promote Devils when he was in that other place, reeking of sulphur , to get his return ticket . This question was raised after we received startling information , whispered during a service in Darwin’s St Mary’s Star of the Sea Catholic Cathedral, that there is a Kerry Packer Tasmanian Devil Sanctuary in a special area of NSW. Well known is the fact that Packer did deals with demon bowlers , but would he agree to play Godfather to Tassie demons? Scurrying out of the church to check our red hot scoop , fire and brimstone in abundance in Mitchell  Street and other CBD hotspots , we checked and discovered that  one of James Packer’s companies had indeed donated 340 acres of property in the choice Barrington Tops area to establish the Kerry Packer Devil Ark. It is hoped to have some 360 Devils living there by 2016 as part of the campaign to save from extinction the noisy, snarling beasties who have been dying in large numbers due to terrible facial cancers .
