Great, something else for them to fuck up. The Failfax story is becoming remarkable similar to that of telstra. #continualfail

Could someone explain why Fairfax bought this business?

Its tiny, isn’t actually transactional (its a publishing subs business), there isn’t any strategic synergy of any import , its not high growth at all, it doesn’t relate to anything else they have…..its basically just a very weird thing for them to have done at and a very strange time to do it…..just after the restructure. There must be some logical tie up somewhere? Jack Matthews reasons don’t seem to make any sense…..Anyone inside or outside that can shed some light on this…..

thanks
