    A few people have said GPT is the new Centro.

    But the two companies are different in two fairly significant ways.

    Number 1
    Centro had to $4 billion of short term debt which matured on 30 April, 2008. That was why it came undone in the first place.
    GPT has to refinance $100 million this year and $800 million next year. Most of the debt is long term and fully hedged.
    Only 37% of CNPs debt was hedged.
    Number 2
    GPT has look through gearing (including the JV) of 46.8%.
    CNP had look though gearing (ie over it's funds) of 75.2%

    There are a lot of others. If interested you might like to check out the two presentations to the market.
