Warwick Fairfax, at the Fairfax Broadway offices, in 1990. Robert Pearce
On August 31, 1987, young Warwick Fairfax – scion of the transcendent Fairfax media empire – stunned the sharemarket, the federal government and just about everyone else. Most shocked of all were the nation’s journalists, and among those that the news hit hardest was the staff of The Australian Financial Review.
