Patrick, Oz's second largest stevedoring firm, seems to be owned by an
Australian company called Lang Corporation - Chris Corrigan and one Peter
Scanlon seem to be the main shareholders - they're making a killing as
share prices soar in sympathy with the operation - Murdoch's *Australian*
has a story ('Busting unions is unquestionably good business ... just ask
Scanlon') about Corrigan's 3.8 million shares going up by $256 000 per day
of the dispute - $2.1 million so far.

No overseas partners or affiliates get a mention anywhere.

Cheers,
Rob.
