Agribuzz, hosted by National Australia Bank

Thursday, 16 February 2023

5:30 - 7:30pm

Join us for the first Agribuzz of 2023, with guest speaker Greg Quinn.

Agribuzz is a 'smart casual' event providing professional networking and development opportunities in a relaxed atmosphere.

NAB Regional and Agri Banking is a valued corporate member of the Farm Writers’ Association of NSW Inc. and has been an enthusiastic supporter of Agribuzz from the outset.

Greg Quinn is a passionate industry leader and advocate for Australian food and agribusiness who grew up at Mungindi in North West NSW.

His professional career has taken a number of paths over the past 20+ years, starting out in a regional accounting firm. Greg then moved to working on some of the largest corporate insolvencies and restructures in Australia such as OneTel and HIH Insurance.

A large part of his career to date has been spent developing and leading one of Australia’s most successful food and agribusiness advisory practices at PPB and then PwC Australia, with his team managing some of the largest M&A deals in Australia agriculture.

Greg is now the managing director and an owner of Grove, a national vertically integrated farming and juice business with core farming operations in Moree NSW.

Agribuzz provides the opportunity for our members and friends to exchange business intelligence and ideas over drinks and canapés, enjoy a brief presentation, and mingle with their peers. Those establishing their careers can talk to agribusiness leaders over a drink while those on the look-out for talent can meet aspiring leaders-in-the-making.

Bookings close 13 February 2023.

Farm Writers Lunch

NSW Election 2023 – Agriculture face-off

Friday 24 February 2023

12:00 for 12:30pm

The 2023 State election promises to be a nail-biter, and regional New South Wales could be the place where a new government is won, or an old one returned.

Four years ago, drought dominated the political debate. In 2023, after years of rain, battered infrastructure is the topic on the lips of most people living in the bush.

Only one side can win – the question is, whose policies will find favour with voters across regional New South Wales?

Our first seminar of 2023 will feature the only face-to-face battle in Sydney between the Minister for Agriculture and Western NSW, the Hon Dugald Saunders MP, and the Shadow Minister for Regional NSW, Agriculture and Western NSW, the Hon Mick Veitch MLC.

Join Farm Writers as they give their respective pitches for the agriculture sector ahead of the election.

It is also a chance to check out our new lunch venue, the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth.

The Hon Dugald Saunders MP was elected to the NSW Legislative Assembly representing the National Party for the electorate of Dubbo at the 2019 election. He was appointed to the Ministry in December 2021. Prior to serving in the parliament, Minister Saunders was a broadcaster and ABC breakfast radio host.

The Hon Mick Veitch MLC was first-elected to the NSW Legislative Council in 2007 representing the Australian Labor Party, and was re-elected in 2015. He has served as a Parliamentary Secretary and a shadow minister covering portfolios such as primary industries, trade and investment, regional infrastructure, lands and rural affairs. Mr Veitch hails from Tumut.
