Last night (Thursday 2nd April 2020) I informed AOC CEO, Matt Carroll that commencing 1 April, I am taking a 20% cut to my consulting fees, which are determined by the AOC Culture, Remuneration and Nominations Committee.

The Australian Olympic Committee acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of this nation.

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of all the lands on which we are located. We pay our respects to ancestors and Elders, past and present.

We celebrate and honour all of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Olympians.

The Australian Olympic Committee is committed to honouring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ unique cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters and seas and their rich contribution to society and sport.
