Some in this place forget that most Australians are aspirational. They want to be successful. Nowhere is this more apparent than in agriculture, where I have spent years coaching young leaders on how to achieve their dreams and advance the sector. Jane Worner, a woman from Young in my electorate, is a shining example of the skill set we now have in agriculture. She spent years working in executive management and has returned home to help run the family farm of mixed livestock and grain production across 20,000 acres. She has been awarded a scholarship under the Board Diversity Scholarship Program run by the government and the Australian Institute of Company Directors. Her advice to young farmers is: never stand still. I congratulate Jayne for the recognition she has won and for showing other young entrepreneurs not to be afraid of success but, in fact, to embrace it.
