Fernando Bale was quite rightly judged greyhound of the year and I congratulate all the nominees and winners on the night. Both the Premier, The Hon Daniel Andrews, and the Minister for Racing, The Hon Martin Pakula, also provided strong messages of support on the night for the industry and for the reforms now underway. The Victorian Greyhound Awards was a great showcase of the commitment, passion and hard work of the good people who have driven the sport’s achievements and that will underpin the journey of reform we need to take to secure its long term future.

  • The Backpacker Guide
    The Backpacker Guide Part of the appeal of backpacking is that you can just ‘up and go’ as you are your own master. A campervan compliments that appeal perfectly, allowing you to travel Australia at your leisure, without a care for anything else. A campervan holiday is a way not just to see Australia, but to experience it too. See all the big tourist attractions, but also see the hidden treasures in between. Travelling in a Campervan is like a ‘home on wheels’. Depending on the vehicle you choose, you will have the ability to cook in your own kitchen, store your food and clothes in the cupboards and sleep in your own bedroom. All with the added benefit of being mobile whenever it suits you.

  • Our Purpose at Work: Serving Organisations That Do Good
    June 2017 Right Lane Consulting Our purpose at work: serving organisations that do good Helping organisations that do good do better is central to our management consulting practice. The work we do with for profit and not for profit organisations that play a constructive role in creating a better world is above all else why we come to work and what gives us meaning and fulfilment in our professional lives. In last year’s Our Purpose at Work, we concentrated on the good work of some of our not for profit clients. In 2016 we were fortunate enough to serve close to 100 clients that do good— for profit and not for profit and clients that are having a positive social impact. Here is a summary of the challenges we helped some of them solve, relating to their role and purpose, strategy and growth, organisational alignment, governance and stakeholder engagement, and ideation and innovation. Role and purpose AFL SportsReady is an independent, not-for-profit organisation that helps young Australians develop careers through traineeships and educational opportunities. In 2016, we facilitated a workshop with the board and executive team that explored the future direction of the company, the climate within vocational education, the partnership with the AFL and the next three-year strategy. The Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria is a member based organisation that promotes and celebrates agriculture through the Royal Melbourne Show, administering food, wine and livestock awards and managing the Melbourne Showgrounds, which hosts events all year round. Right Lane has had a long history of serving the RASV and in the past year helped its board to reach the position that the Show is a mass-consumer event that enables it to reinvest in its core purpose relating to the advancement of agriculture.

The first thing that has probably struck you with regard to this Bulletin is the magnificent illustration of the Red Back Kingfisher by wildlife artist Christopher Pope on the cover. Australia is very fortunate to have both a diverse and beautiful range of birdlife. Christopher’s skill enabled him to capture the incredible detail of the Australian Kingfishers issue due out 26 October. I believe this is one of his best stamp issues to date, and possibly my favourite of 2010. Of course, there are a number of other very special stamp issues © Copyright 2010 Australian Postal in this edition. To begin with, we commemorate the opening of the Corporation. All rights reserved.

  • 2015 Royal Melbourne Show Opening
    2015 ROYAL MELBOURNE SHOW OPENING Saturday 19th September, 2015 Senator The Honourable Bridget McKenzie, Senator for Victoria and representing the Prime Minister of Australia The Honourable Jaala Pulford, Minister for Agriculture & Regional Development Consuls-General Mr Stephen Spargo, President, Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria and Dr Jill Spargo Mr Mark Sullivan, Chief Executive Officer, Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria Distinguished guests Ladies and gentlemen First, I acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we are gathering and pay my respects to their elders, past and present, and to any Elders with us today. We are delighted to be here this morning to open the 2015 Royal Melbourne Show. It is a privilege I would not have anticipated a year ago as I watched the Show’s opening on the nightly news. But it brings together so much of what I am enjoying about this new role. First, this event underscores for me the rich history of my position. I can share with you that the sense of history was brought home to me, first, on the night we moved into Government House. I walked around the House…..more accurately, a tiny part of the House, and was struck by the sense of what would be our temporary custodianship of it, following in the steps of the families who had moved in and out since the late 1870’s. I feel that same sense of lineage and history today. It is an uplifting (and humbling) thought that Governors before me have opened this Show, in an annual tradition dating back for well over one hundred years.
