Yes, that's right, the announcement was posted on the Prime Minister's website late last month, but the news still came as a surprise to some officials and journalists who hadn't been sent it and hadn't seen it. .
Former Telstra chief executive Andy Penn gets excited with wife Callie Blauhorn at Melbourne Fashion Week.
The well-regarded Penn, who has previously chaired the company's board for the first time, is currently focused on new work.
Penn, who is a member of the board of the National Gallery of Victoria, is well suited to lead Visit Victoria if she is to spearhead the event in Melbourne. CBD once appeared at Glamor on the Grid, a party for F1 influencers and celebrities held ahead of the Australian Grand Prix, where he was seen wearing an “uncool” gray suit with a modern cut. I have pointed it out.
In March, in the front row of the Melbourne Fashion Festival, flanked by my wife Karrie Blauhorn, the festival's director, we wore Penn's open-collared white shirts, men's bags, open-toed sandals, Painted toenails, pearl bracelets, and camel-colored flares.
Mr. Whiting, who is highly regarded, has served on the Board of Directors for eight years, the last five as Chairman, before his term expires. Although she has left the board, she remains chair of the National Gallery of Victoria.
Visit Victoria's other board members include former Crown chief executive Peter Crinis and director Deborah Beale AM. And Eddie McGuire AM has just been re-elected for another term, so balance has been restored.
all for a good cause

State government minister Gabrielle Williams went to an area where few women venture spontaneously on Tuesday and had her hair shaved at Parliament House.
It started as a funny thought bubble in Dandenong's car as MP Dandenong was driving his friend Eden Foster, MP for Mulgrave, to the Peter MacCallum Cancer Center for cancer treatment.

“It started as a joke and evolved into an idea,” said Williams, who is also minister for consumer affairs, government services, public transport and transportation.
“This was done in solidarity with Eden and comes in time for her return to parliament.
Together, they raised $27,000 for the Cancer Council.
The minister professed to be happy with his new appearance.
“Perhaps the best way to describe it is with a shaved head and a bit of Sinead O’Connor.”
almost heretical
On Monday, Australia faced Zari Burrows.
The versatile criminal lawyer, known for representing biker gangsters and imprisoned con artist Salim Mehajer, among others, recently revealed that his client, Bruce Lehman, said the only way to make money was to “do stupid things like OnlyFans.” “to do so,” he told the federal court.
Beyond a headline-bait reference to an adult website, Burrows is seeking to appeal a civil libel judgment that found him to have raped then-coworker Brittany Higgins. He described his client as “the most hated man in Australia”.

I've heard it before. When contacted about his sudden withdrawal from a conference presided over by men's rights activist Bettina Arndt, Burroughs described Lehmann in this column:
Mr. Burrows is neither a defamation expert nor a lawyer, but is the only lawyer on Mr. Lehmann's appellate team. Despite this, she is persistent.
In 2011, Sydney law firm Macpherson Kelly represented Mr Burrows in a personal dispute. She would later sue the company for professional negligence for failing to secure $12,239.83 that her attorney had ordered in her favor. When Burrows' claim was denied in 2020, a district court ordered her to pay the company $130,000 in costs. She unsuccessfully tried to appeal that decision in the New South Wales Court of Appeal. She then applied for special leave to appeal to the High Court, again without success.
When the company sought a bankruptcy order against Burrows, her attempt to have the bankruptcy order set aside was rejected by a federal court last year.
However, the matter was remanded to the District Court in March (now being heard by seven different judges) and Mr Burrows filed a costs order claiming it had been obtained by fraud or bad faith. tried to have it destroyed.
In dismissing the proceeding, South Carolina District Court Judge Robert Weber called some of Burrows' submissions “bordering on heresy,” as he argued that Burrows was not following a binding ruling from the Court of Appeals. ” he said.
“Her case is therefore doomed to fail,” he said.
There is little ringing support. Lehmann would probably like to see improvements.
