I am delighted to announce that I have joined Barton Deakin Government Relations. After over a decade working with The Nationals Victoria, and the Liberal Party of Australia & National Party of Australia (The Nationals) in Canberra, I am looking forward to working with former colleagues and new clients across the country. As part of Burson and WPP, Barton Deakin Government Relations is a leading government relations company who help clients to engage and connect with Liberal & National Coalition governments and oppositions across Australia and New Zealand. Some of the most well-respected Coalition government relations professionals such as Anthony Benscher and Andrew Humpherson have worked at Barton Deakin in recent times, and I am privileged to be part of an organisation with such an outstanding reputation. I'm excited to work with Tom Horn at Burson and Simon Banks at our sister organisation Hawker Britton Group Pty Ltd, and the rest of the fabulous team across the country, to deliver for our clients. Finally, and most importantly, a heartfelt thank you to my exceptional former colleagues at the Nats. The recent triumphs of the Party are a testament to the dedication and hard work of each one of you. Special congratulations to Lyndel Feery on her promotion to my previous role as State Director. I am confident she has taken note of all my mistakes and will lead The Nationals Victoria to even greater success in the future!
