  • The Indigenous Marathon Project Run. Sweat. Inspire Parliamentry Inquiry Into the Contribution of Sport
    Submission 049 The Indigenous Marathon Project Run. Sweat. Inspire Parliamentry Inquiry into the contribution of Sport to Indigenous wellbing and mentoring 1 Submission 049 IMP objectives 1. To promote healthy and active lifestyles throughout Indigenous communities nationally and reduce the incidence of Indigenous chronic disease: & 2. To create Indigenous distance running champions and to inspire Indigenous people. Background The Indigenous Marathon Project (IMP) was established in 2009 by World Champion marathon runner and 1983 Australian of the Year, Robert de Castella. IMP annually selects, educates, trains and takes a group of inspirational young Indigenous men and women aged 18-30 to compete in the world’s biggest marathon – the New York City Marathon. IMP is not a sports program. IMP is a social change program that uses the simple act of running as a vehicle to promote the benefits of active and healthy lifestyles and change lives. The group of men and women are similar to rocks in a pond, with their ripple effect continuing to inspire local family and community members as well as thousands of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians nationally. The Project highlights the incredible natural talent that exists within the Australian Indigenous population, with the hope to one day unearth an Indigenous long-distance running champion to take on the African dominance. The core running squad push their physical and mental boundaries to beyond what they ever thought they were capable of, and after crossing the finish line of the world’s biggest marathon, they know they can achieve anything. These runners are trained to become healthy lifestyle leaders by completing a Certificate IV in Health and Leisure, with a focus on Indigenous healthy lifestyle.

  • 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.

  • Media Release Tuesday 14 October 2008 Baghdatis Named for Brisbane International
    media release Tuesday 14 October 2008 Baghdatis named for Brisbane International Former Australian Open finalist Marcos Baghdatis is the latest player to confirm Brisbane as the start of his Australian Open campaign, joining the star-studded player line-up at the inaugural event. To be held at the new Queensland Tennis Centre in Tennyson from Sunday 4 to Sunday 11 January, the Brisbane International will offer more than $1 million in prize money. “Today we are pleased to announce Marcos Baghdatis as the latest player to sign up for the Brisbane International,” Tournament Director, Steve Ayles said. “Baghdatis captured the hearts of Australians during his phenomenal run to the Australian Open final in 2006, and who could forget his brave late-night fight against Lleyton Hewitt at the Australian Open this year. “Marcos is one of the game’s biggest personalities, and we can’t wait to welcome him to the Brisbane International.” The flamboyant Cypriot joins Australian Open champion and *world No.3 Novak Djokovic , and the ‘three musketeers’ of French tennis, No.15 Richard Gasquet , No.16 and Australian Open finalist, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga , and No.28 Gael Monfils. “Djokovic is sure to come out firing in Brisbane as he prepares for his AO title defence,” Ayles said. The Serbian superstar added two Masters Series trophies – Indian Wells and Rome – to his silverware in 2008, and reached the semis at Roland Garros, the US Open, the Beijing Olympics and Masters Series events in Monte Carlo and Hamburg. Richard Gasquet started 2008 ranked No.7 but has failed to notch up a singles title this year.

  • GREG NORMAN Wednesday, December 10, 2014
    PRE-TOURNAMENT INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT: GREG NORMAN Wednesday, December 10, 2014 DAVE SENKO: Well, we would like to welcome our host, Greg Norman. Greg, this is 26 years for your event, 14 years in Naples. A couple changes this year. Maybe you could just get us started, talk about the new format, a little bit of a course change as well as Fox's debut as broadcasting golf. GREG NORMAN: Absolutely. First of all, I said it when we had the 25th anniversary last year that I never anticipated running this tournament for 25 years. Now we're into 26 and it seems like we're just getting better and better every year. There's been the golf course changes. Fortunately for us we had a 36-hole golf course to be able to work with. The agronomy department, we all know there was a disease got into the greens so we made the adjustments very, very quickly. Quite honestly, as far as I was concerned, I always wanted to use -- I'm going to get them all mixed up -- the black course in the beginning because I really thought it was a better golf course to play. So, you know, we made the adjustments very, very quickly. I think the players really like the new golf course, the layout of the golf course. So there really has been sort of a seamless transition, quite honestly. And the third one with Fox, extremely excited about it, I really am. There's a lot of things I've done in my life and there's a lot of opportunities I've had to do new things in life but this is one that I'm extremely excited about.
