ENT Ltd was a publicly listed Australian media company based in Launceston, Tasmania run by major shareholder Edmund Rouse.
[citation needed] ENT's 1988 annual report described the company's principal activities as television, newspapers, radio, commercial printing, motels, travel agencies, picture theatres, property development, and investment.
[citation needed] In 1994, a bribery scandal led to Rouse stepping down as managing director of ENT Ltd, which was taken over by WIN Corporation.
[citation needed] Filmways Australasian Distributors was originally formed by the founders of Dendy Cinemas, Mark Josem and Robert Ward, in 1971, to release movies to the Australian market.
[1][2] Mark Josem died in 1986 after a series of heart attacks from a surgery the previous year,[3] and the company was renamed Filmpac Holdings soon afterwards.
