A big congratulations must go to Anthony O'Dwyer on winning the ALPA National Young Auctioneers Competition in Sydney this year at the Royal Easter Show. He and Jack Henshaw brought home the nab Agribusiness team shield to Queensland once again. Maybe that was an omen for the election result. It was pleasing to watch Anthony win the title against a very strong field of competitors from across the nation. I have been fortunate enough to watch his progress over the past five years from the ALPA auctioneer selection schools at Rockhampton every June. Anthony has worked hard on his selling style and presentation during this time, putting into practice what his tutors, mentors, and speech pathologists advise. Learning how to change facets of your repertoire and patter is hard to do. He never gave up the vision of making himself into a more professional agent and auctioneer.
