  • Acceptance Speech by Harry Triguboff AO It Is a Great Hour to Be Inducted
    Acceptance Speech by Harry Triguboff AO It is a great hour to be inducted into the Property Council Hall of Fame. I am happy and proud for my family especially my wife Rhonda, my colleagues and all those who have worked to make Meriton such a wonderful place. To have achieved what we did would seem impossible in 1963 when we started because Australia was small, and our company was minute. Like many other entrepreneurs the important thing was to start correctly. The foundation had to be correct. If the beginning is wrong nothing will help. Also luck has a lot to do with it. But one must be around to get lucky breaks. Luck does not come to us. We have to be there working. Meriton is probably the most exciting company one could imagine. When we started the rent control was only lifted. Rent control meant that the owner could not raise rents. The result was that there was a terrible shortage and people had to pay key money to the owner to get accommodation. Of course that could not last forever, and rent control was lifted just before we started to build. The demand was enormous and there was no supply. Houses were expensive, because land was expensive. There was no great premium paid for views, or for suburbs. People did not have much and would only pay little, because they could only afford little. Hence the success of apartments. Our main customers were the farmers who were leaving their land and the poms who were brought here with assisted passage.
