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. August also saw the conclusion of GRV’s first series of Stakeholder Engagement Workshops, attended by over 600 people. Following the great contribution made by participants who either presented or attended the workshops, GRV will be holding a further three workshops in regional Victoria this month and you can find out more on the GRV website. The workshop discussions were very much driven by participants and generated many constructive proposals for a range of issues from breeding controls, to rearing and training, to improving opportunities for smaller scale participants. GRV is already acting on some of these proposals and has provided to all 13 Clubs the recommendations and suggestions made by panel experts and participants who attended the ‘Track Safety, Track Design and Lures’ workshop and the Clubs have each submitted a plan to improve the safety of our tracks. So you can expect to see a number of changes to tracks as we strive to make them safer. On this issue, race day trials of the hoop arm lure system to reduce injury rates have now also been completed and GRV is studying the results with a view to making a decision on future lures for Victorian racetracks. In other news, I was pleased to announce last month the appointment of Shane Gillard as GRV’s first General Manager of Integrity. Shane brings more than 20 years’ experience in management and leadership across a variety of sectors including senior compliance and enforcement roles with WorkSafe Victoria. He will lead GRV’s much expanded Integrity Department which will be increasingly busy over the coming year with an expanded swabbing program and a stronger focus on working directly with participants to ensure compliance through new education and information initiatives. The Department now also has a new 24/7 phone hotline on 1300 856 109 to confidentially report suspicious activity and, as well, its Investigations Unit will be engaging more closely with participants to make everyone part of the solution in ensuring the sport’s integrity. While much has been achieved over the past year in positioning the sport in Victoria for a sustainable future, the decision to close down greyhound racing in NSW makes it clear the rate of reform in Victoria cannot slow down. Over the next six months, GRV will be picking up the pace as its capital works program rolls out, as new race day injury and treatment initiatives are put in place and as it works towards the goal of giving all Victorian greyhounds the opportunity to live out their lives in full. GAP will also keep growing, with a new assessment centre at Mt Mercer in Central Victoria and the expansion of GAP Seymour to promote and educate people about greyhounds as pets.

The night was deemed a huge success by everyone there, with greyhound racing in Victoria receiving a glowing endorsement by Premier Daniel Andrews (via video message) and Minister for Racing, Martin Pakula. The night was also highlighted by the appearance of 12 adopted greyhounds, along with video packages outlining the tremendous recent growth of Victoria’s Greyhound Adoption Program and Victorian greyhound racing’s increasing presence in local communities. The Andrea Dailly-trained Fernando Bale was judged the best performed greyhound in Victoria during the 18 month period incorporating the 2015 calendar year and the first half of 2016.

Everyone thought we were crazy but it ended up being a very good move. “Margaret oversaw the whole operation at The Meadows; from buying the land to the opening meeting. We built the place from scratch and we had very limited funds, so she did a very good job with the finances. “I think Margaret’s best quality is that she’s brutally honest. She calls a spade a spade and she doesn’t take any rubbish from anyone. She is hard but fair with the staff and I think the longevity of the staff at The Meadows is testament to the respect they have for Margaret.” From humble beginnings The Meadows has gone from strength to strength under Marg’s guidance, with the circuit now host to nine Group 1 events, highlighted by the jewel in the crown, the Topgun, and the lucrative Australian Cup Carnival.

    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.

    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.
