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.

  • Inquiry Into the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Tourism and Events Sectors
    LC EIC Inquiry into the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism and events sectors Submission 074 Inquiry into the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Tourism and Events Sectors Mr Duane Swan Organisation Name: Your position or role: YOUR SUBMISSION Submission: Covid has clearly devastated events and tourism across Victoria and Australia, and the effects have been felt across the board, most acutely felt by those who make their livelihood solely from events. Having worked from the bottom up in events and hospitality over 20 years, the number of direct and ancillary workers, contractors, businesses and suppliers that are involved in running an event is enormous, and the effects from current restrictions and limitations are unsustainable for most. From all those that work at Harry the Hirer or Frontier Touring to all the sole traders and family businesses dotted around the state, without any direct and targeted solutions from the government immediately, the events and tourism industries will be damaged beyond repair, along with the livelihoods of those that create it. We do need action immediately, though in no way do I suggest the actions up till now have not been greatly appreciated and beneficial in getting Victoria into a position to be open again for events and tourism. With the current movement on vaccines and the lifting of more restrictions being positive, the next 6 months for events will be crucial for survival and then recovery. Additionally, with the lack of international travel for the foreseeable future it is imperative that we protect the events and tourism industry during this next stage.

  • The Melbourne Cup Carnival
    The Melbourne Cup Carnival Millinery Fashion Highlights... Presented by HATalk e-magazine and Racing Fashion Australia Foreword by Anna Mott Founder of Racing Fashion Australia Five years ago, I was heading to all the major race meetings in Australia, including the Melbourne Cup Carnival, the Autumn Carnival in Sydney and Brisbane's Winter Carnival. While enjoying being a competitor in Myer’s Fashions on the Field contests, I would see fabulous members of the social circuit, as well as celebrities, who had been dressed by professional stylists. I felt that something was missing from the excitement of the track - the individuals who take hours, and sometimes months, of preparation to put an outfit together. I found it important to embrace these ladies and gentlemen and to focus on the beauty of every competitor - not only the winners were the worthy. In fact, when heading to the races every person is dressed in their 'Sunday Best' and feeling fantastic. I began taking photos of the competitors, as well as the other ladies and gentlemen looking wonderful, and everyone embraced the idea and welcomed me. RACING FASHION AUSTRALIA 1 www.racingfashion.com.au At first, people thought I had an angle and was trying to make money. On the contrary, I pretty much make no money and have only a few loyal sponsors. I am just trying to promote millinery and hat wearing, since much of the daily wearing of hats has died since the 1960s. Over the past four years, statistics say that I have had over 338 million hits on my website, www.racingfashion.com.
