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

    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.

Agricultural competitions are at the heart of the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW (RAS) charter – to encourage and reward excellence, and support a viable and prosperous future for our agricultural communities. And it’s been that way since 1823. Today, the Sydney Royal competitions held at the Show attract close to 30,000 entries each year from passionate, skilled producers and craftspeople across the country. Because the competitions set benchmarks in excellence, and encourage development and innovation in Australian agriculture, they continue to be an important part of our agriculture industry. For instance, winning a prestigious Sydney Royal ribbon can bring commercial benefits to exhibitors, enabling our rural communities to remain strong and vibrant. And major award winners at the Show have the benefit of using Sydney Royal artwork to promote their success in marketing campaigns. Every year, the RAS works to evolve the Sydney Royal competitions. Our commitment to adapting to consumer and industry trends ensures our competitions remain relevant, encourage excellence and are world-class. The integrity of our Sydney Royal competitions rests in the hands of accomplished, knowledgeable and most importantly independent judges. I’m always impressed by their professionalism, energy and high ethical standards. The spirit of friendly competition comes alive at the Show each year when Australia’s agricultural community come together to celebrate at the Sydney Showground.

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.
