  • Week9 E-Record .Indd
    E-Footy RECORD 31st May 2008 Issue 9 Editorial with Marty King AFL AND AFLPA SET TO MOVE ON NEW ALCOHOL POLICY It’s terrifi c to see the AFL and the AFL Players Association working collaboratively to formulate a new policy on responsible alcohol consumption in the football environment. They are seeking feedback from each of the 16 AFL clubs, together with key national drug and alcohol experts, before framing a policy with guidelines that all AFL clubs and associated bod- ies like AFL Queensland can use to develop their own. This comes after a lot of background work was done over almost two years and the AFL Com- mission received a full briefi ng. The AFL, the Players’ Association and the AFL clubs understand that quite clearly that they have a responsibility to promote responsible drinking within the AFL and among the 16 clubs, the players and staff. But it’s not just about the elite level. The same will apply at the grassroots level and we at AFLQ will look to partner with the League on this important initiative. The guidelines within the AFL Framing Policy will provide a framework for AFL clubs and asso- ciated bodies to assist them in developing their own individual club responsible alcohol policies. The AFL Framing Policy lists a set of objectives for players and club staff, including the devel- opment of approaches for responsible consumption, effective pathways for treatment of alco- hol-related problems, creating responsible drinking cultures and using player welfare oriented and education-based approaches to promote responsible alcohol consumption.

  • Speech by Ian Darling to Graduating Students, Australian School of Business, University of NSW, April 14, 2008. Chancellor Dean
    Speech by Ian Darling to graduating students, Australian School of Business, University of NSW, April 14, 2008. Chancellor_ Dean_ Graduates_ Ladies and Gentlemen It is a great honour to share this happy occasion with you. I congratulate and commend the graduates for the perseverance and hard work that has earned you the success that we are marking today. No doubt many of you have already embarked on your careers, and your time at the Australian School of Business may seem but a distant memory – but the great thing about a good education is that it will stay with you forever. You will be able to apply the tool kits that you have gained from this outstanding institution right throughout your business career. I wish you great success in those careers and hope that every one of you will make a significant contribution to this country in your particular fields of endeavour. I too graduated in business – firstly with a BA in accounting, and after four years of investment banking I followed this up with an MBA. In life you only need to make a few really good decisions in order to have a fulfilling and rewarding career – and I must say my decision to study business, both at an undergraduate and then post graduate level were undoubtedly two of the best decisions I ever made. Business degrees open many doors, and you can apply your skills across so many different spheres, whether it be in the corporate world, or indeed all areas of government, the Arts, as well as the not for profit or philanthropic world.
