Pixie Skase returns to Australia
November 22, 2004

THE widow of fugitive Australian businessman Christopher Skase flew into Melbourne this morning.

Mr Skase died in 2001, having fled to Spain 10 years earlier with personal debts of $170 million and corporate debts of $1.7 billion.

It is the first time Mrs Skase has been back to Australia since his death.

The Australian Government spent nearly $3 million pursuing Mr Skase, before being advised last year that he had few assets left.

Attorney-General Phillip Ruddock told ABC Radio the Government could devote more resources to the case if the bankruptcy trustee wanted to examine Pixie Skase.

"The issue of an examination is whether or not the trustee believes that there is further information that might assist him in recouping assets," he said.

"If there are assets then there is a responsibility to get them back."

Some more news on Pixie:

Pixie 'offers creditors little hope'
November 22, 2004

THE return to Australia of Pixie Skase, the widow of former fugitive businessman Christopher Skase, provided little hope for creditors owed millions of dollars, Skase's bankruptcy trustee Max Donnelly said today.

Mrs Skase flew into Melbourne today, three years after her husband died.

Skase fled to Spain 10 years earlier with personal debts of $170 million and corporate debts of $1.7 billion.

But Mr Donnelly said today as far as he was aware Mrs Skase's assets only consisted of a $1-million payout from her husband's life insurance policy – which was not available for creditors.

"If I became aware that she has access or control of any of her husband's assets then I may pursue it further," he said.

He said the investigation would only be reopened if there was "any financial or public benefit".

"I don't propose to do anything with what I know now," he said.

"The Government has already spent a substantial amount of money on this case."

The Australian Government spent nearly $3 million pursuing Skase, before being advised late last year by Mr Donnelly that he had few assets left.

A spokeswoman for Attorney-General Philip Ruddock said the Government would consider any request from Mr Donnelly to reopen the case.

"It is open to the trustee for bankruptcy Mr Donnelly to review the circumstances now that Mrs Skase is back in Australia," she said.

"Should Mr Donnelly consider it appropriate to take further steps in his investigation, the government would certainly consider that."

Mrs Skase's close friend and confidant Melbourne socialite Lillian Frank said Pixie had not contacted her and she did not know where she was.

"Darling, everyone is asking me that and I honestly don't know where she is," Ms Frank said.
