GenerationOne ideas forum, by Greg Tingle - The Bondi View - 12th August 2010
It wasn’t the first forum addressing Aboriginal disadvantage, nor will it be the last but this “talkfest” up the road at Moore Park, Fox Studios was effective.
For me it was personal.
Like GenerationOne founder and visionary, Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest (mining magnate billionaire) and his Bondi Beach-based mate, James “Casino King” Packer (currently sailing the high seas off Europe), I spent my formative youth around indigenous Australians.
I strongly agree with Twiggy’s comments that “the more you get to know Aboriginal people the more you love them”.
I believe GenerationOne will be successful. Why? Key people in GenerationOne are already employing thousands of Aboriginal people and plan to employ more. There’s no handouts here. Forrest, Packer and others help because it’s the right thing to do and its good business.
Twiggy has challenged politicians of all parties to help Indigenous people get into the Australian workforce. The mining king said he “wasn’t a bleeding heart”.
“Skilling up Indigenous people makes good business sense,” he told the Fox Studios audience last Thursday.
“Employment is the key to ending Indigenous disparity if the government encourages industries that can really make a difference – mining, tourism, construction, hospitality.
“If they encourage those industries to deliver training then other companies will have the faith to continue the employment.”
He said the government would need to provide funding or subsidise the costs of training.
Deputy chief executive of the Business Council of Australia, Melinda Cliento, also on the GenerationOne panel, said standards needed to be raised so indigenous children didn’t leave school and end up unemployed.

Media Man Team Cheers On City 2 Surf At Bondi Beach; Friendly Ambush Marketing - 8th August 2010
Media Man Team Cheers On City 2 Surf At Bondi Beach; Friendly Ambush Marketing
The annual City 2 Surf fun run took place today.
Celebrating its 40th year, over 80,000 runners participated in perfect Sydney weather.
The race was won by Ben St Lawrence upsetting race favourite Micheal Shelley at the post to snatch Sydney's 14km City 2 Surf run in an official time of 41:05mins.
The first woman to cross was the line was Lara Tamsett, the favourite for the race, who completed the course in just under 47 minutes.
Olympic swimming champion Grant Hackett fired the starting gun at 8.30am AEST. Hackett then joined the race after climbing down from his cherry picker perch.
Seems news media was all over the event, from ABC, SBS, 7, 9, Ten, OneHD, Fox Sports, and Bondi's own Media Man.
A bit of an ambush marketing effort dominated Bondi Beach, reminiscent of the World Cup "Buxom Barvaria Beer Babes", but a sea of giant hand-like fingers waved in their air.
Team Media Man cheers on from the finish line at Bondi Beach, represented by Greg Tingle, Su Fenn and an "undercover operative" with attention grabbing giant hands / fingers in their hands sporting a Media Man mates' company logo - Messages On Hold. The commentator on the mix roared "Wave Your Hands In The Air", and the crowd followed to cue. A number of Malcolm Turnbull and Nova96.5 flyer's and promos were also spotted.
The finish has already been broadcast on a state, national and international scale, and yes, you can see the giant hands in some of the replays. Keep an eye out for Dave "Hughsy" Hughes, regular 7PM project personality and comedian, who slaps the giant hands. Superman and Jesus were also in the mix of celebrity runners.
A Media Man spokesperson advised "Any exposure generated from us and our Messages On Hold Mate, Kym Illman, will help fuel awareness of worthy causes and campaigns we assist including GenerationOne, The Salvation Army, beyondblue, The Rough Edges, The Exodus Foundation, and Sea Shepherd. Our business model often has the effect where the more exposure, online or offline, we muster, the more business and revenue comes in, thus allowing us to keep supporting worthy social causes."
Bondi Beach based mega entrepreneur, James Packer, may be out sailing the high seas abroad, but team Media Man was out in force celebrating and participating in Bondi's most famous annual happening.
Well done to everyone involved, be it racers, medical, media, volunteers, charity, police and so it goes on.
To participate or even to attend was to win. Certainly the Sydney and Bondi Beach economy won today, and of course its all good fodder for newspapers, magazines and newspapers.
See you all there again next year champions.

Australian Politics: 'No Bull' Turnbull To Host Anti-Filter Forum, by Greg Tingle - 4th August 2010
Australian master politician and accomplished businessman, Malcolm "No Bull" Turnbull has listened to concerned citizens: mums and dads and the business world and will host an anti-filter forum in Sydney, Australia this Saturday. Media Man and Gambling911 bring you this no bull report covering an Australian politician who listens... amazing...
Former Opposition leader and Federal member of Wentworth, Malcolm Turnbull, is hosting an Internet filtering forum in Sydney this Saturday.
The panel members will include former Telstra BigPond group manager, Justin Milne, Getup! national director, Simon Sheikh, and Mr Turnbull himself!
Internet projects of Mr Turnbull helped make him a millionaire including the famed OzEmail.
"The proposed filter is a hot issue in Wentworth, with many voters expressing concerns over the Government’s plans," the Facebook events page said. "… Informed discussion among forum participants will ensure community views on the filter are heard.
The internet forum will consider adopting community resolutions to capture the views.
The event will be held on August 7 at Paddington RSL Club. Go the diggers!
"If adopted, these resolutions will be presented to Senator Steven Conroy and Prime Minister Gillard as a reminder of the community’s determination to fight the proposal," the events page outlaid.
Mr Turnbull is widely regarded as Australia's most internet savvy member of Parliament.
He was dumped by as Liberal Leader in December 2009, with his views on climate change seen to be a key factor. Mr Turnbull was replaced by Tony "The Bruiser" Abbott, however Media Man street surveys indicated many Australian's think the "No Bull" man will be a future Australian Prime Minister if he wants to be. He remains one of Australia's most respected and financially wealthy politicians and is seen as quite the 'Peoples Champion'.
Punters, er readers, stay glued to Media Man reports via Gambling911 for more "can't miss" information on the Australian casino and political wars.

Some online poker and online casino brands are understand to have made secret Australian internet blacklist. The Gillard Government is staying on messages that its mainly about protecting children, however the vast majority of media companies and the population at large now firmly believes its more about attempting to censor the news, filter out negative political commentary (as done in China) and banning things that don't fit their political agenda. The government is trying to get Australian ISP's to agree to enforcing its laws. Overall the current government trying to control the population and this is documented on various Australian newspaper reports. The reader could be forgiven for having flashbacks to movies such as 'They Live', '1984', 'Clockwork Orange' and 'The Net'.
Malcolm "No Bull" Turnbull is the representative for Wentworth, a Liberal Party member, and many people believe is a future Australian Prime Minister. Liberal's Tony Abbott is the current leader of the Liberal party and Lib's are now favored to become the new government of Australia is a few short weeks, with political betting trends at Centrebet and elsewhere backing this up.
Mr Turnbull enjoys a colourful history with Australia's original casino and gambling tycoon, Kerry Packer, and has spoken highly of James Packer friend and associate, Andrew "Twiggy" Forrest, who spearheads GenerationOne which is focused on creating sustainable employment opportunities for thousands of Indigenous Australians. Packer has already employed hundreds and Turnbull has been encouraged, some say even inspired, by the Forrest - Packer collaboration. Packer is a resident in Turnbull's political electorate which includes Bondi Beach. Turnbull, being a team player, fully supports Tony "The Bruiser" Abbott in his quest to become the new Aussie Prime Minister. The smart money says Liberal will win the election and that this weekends Anti-Filter forum will be a rip snorter.

GenerationOne Ideas Forum Comes To Fox Studios; Business, social and community entrepreneurs unite, by Greg Tingle
It wasn’t the first forum addressing Aboriginal disadvantage, nor will it be the last, but one gets the distinct feeling this “talk fest” was effective, and believe me, the positive flow on effects are already taking place, many out of the public or media spotlight. “Fame” is not the objective hear, however awareness is no doubt of prime importance, thus mainstream and alternative media does play a role.
For me this was personal (not business, not politics or spin)…it is of life significance.
GenerationOne had finally come to our backyard, just up the road at Moore Park, Fox Studios. I hadn’t met up with the team previously as the Circular Quay happening months back, as the happening had snuck up on me. I wasn’t going to miss out on the Fox appearance for the world.
Like GenerationOne founder and visionary, Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest (his other cap being mining magnate billionaire) and his Bondi Beach based mate and associate, James “Casino King” Packer (currently sailing the high seas off Europe), I spent much of my formative youth around indigenous Australians, my late farther being a miner – truck driver, who transformed himself into property developer. Some of dad’s best mates and associates were “Abbo” (affectionate). I couldn’t agree more with Twiggy’s comments that “The more you get to know Aboriginal people the more you love them”.
I believe that GenerationOne will continue to be successful. Why? Dreamers plus Big Resources, the super powers of Australian business and media, tremendous People Power, and the genuine desire to win. A number of key people in GenerationOne are already employing thousands of (suitable) Aboriginal people and plan to employ more.
There’s no handouts here, hand ups… yes, and everyone is motivated. Forrest, Packer, myself and others don’t need to help – we want to, because we can, and it’s the right thing to do, and its good business. Aussies helping Aussies in the spirit of mates ship and a fair go for all.
Twiggy has challenged politicians of all parties to help indigenous people get in (and stay in) the Australian workforce. It’s not a quick fix, but it is based on sustainable solutions.
The Fortescue Metals Chief Executive advised last Thursday that he “wasn't a bleeding heart” and “skilling-up indigenous people made good business sense”.
Forrest said indigenous people didn't need more welfare money but need real leadership.
"The government really needs to move itself along and say 'OK, welfare really hasn't worked'," he told the Fox Studios crowd last Thursday.
“Employment is the key to ending indigenous disparity. If the government encourages industries which can really make a difference, and yes it is mining, but it's also construction, it's also hospitality, it's also tourism.
"If they encourage those industries to deliver the training themselves (then) other companies ... will have the faith to continue the employment."
He stressed that the government would need to step up and provide funding and / or subsidise the costs of training.
Deputy Chief Executive of the Business Council of Australia, Melinda Cliento, also on the GenerationOne panel, said standards needed to be raised so indigenous children didn't leave school and stray into unemployment.
Forrest said it was also in the interest of Australian businesses to employ indigenous people.
"I'm not doing this because I'm a philanthropist or because I've got a bleeding heart. I'm doing this essentially because it's great for business," he said.
"The more business grows, the morale of your people, the culture deepens of your workforce - you become a more valuable company."

*The writer has previously assisted and campaigned for a number of Indigenous Australian communities and associated initiatives including but not limited to Yuggera Tribe, Githabul People, Whaledreamers and Friends Of Malabar Headland
