Who is Warwick Fairfax?

Warwick Fairfax is an Australian businessman who had tried unsuccessfully to privatise his family's media company Fairfax Media in 1987. He was the son of Warwick Oswald Fairfax and his third wife, Mary, Lady Fairfax. Educated at Oxford and Harvard, he successfully took over the company but on 10 December 1990 the company collapsed and a receiver was appointed. The controversial method of financing and purchasing holdings of the established company from family members and the consequential problems arising in the media group in later years are still cited today in Australian media history.
