Australian Consolidated Press (ACP), a member of Publishing and Broadcasting Ltd. (PBL), is an Australian media company that was founded in 1933. It publishes The Australian Women's Weekly, the Australian edition of Woman's Day, and The Bulletin, Australia's oldest magazine, dating from 1880.
Through PBL, which was established in 1994, ACP is a sister company to Australian television's Nine Network.
The magazine has many tie-ins with other PBL properties, such as Nine Network programs (Burke's Backyard and Good Medicine are examples of this), other PBL holdings (ACP produces the Foxtel subscriber magazine) and even other magazines ("desparate and dateless" parties are sponsored by Ralph and Cosmopolitan).
Packer is the major shareholder in Publishing and Broadcasting Limited (PBL), which owns the Nine television network and AustralianConsolidatedPress, which produces many of Australia's top-selling magazines.
They forced their way in and began vandalising the premises, but according to Neville, James was able to barricade himself in his office and call his friend Rupert Murdoch, Packer's rival.
Not surprisingly, next day the Murdoch press had a field day with the news that the son of Australia's biggest media tycoon had been caught brawling in the street.
When the Council was mooted in 1976, Mr McNicoll, a former editor-in-chief of AustralianConsolidatedPress (ACP), was one of the senior editorial figures involved in the negotiations towards the Council's formation.
Mr McNicoll was appointed as a founding member of the Council by the then Australian Newspaper Council and, following the restructure of the Council in 1987, was appointed by ACP as its nominee to the Council.
He was appointed Editor-in-Chief of ConsolidatedPress in 1953 and served in that roile until 1974.
