I wanted to share yesterday’s announcement by the Premier of Victoria of my appointment as the Deputy Electoral Commissioner for Victoria from 18 August 2021. I am very much looking forward to contributing to Australia’s proud institution of democracy at the Victorian Electoral Commission. On a personal note I want to thank all my colleagues at the ATO who I have had the privilege of serving alongside for the past 3 years and in particular now retired James O’Halloran who led the JobKeeper program, my first manager. The professionalism and dedication of public servants in serving the community is exceptional and I am excited about the next step in my public service journey.

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Patience may be a virtue, but it's a difficult one to cultivate — especially in a world that is moving ever-faster. Yet with this quote, Enlightenment-era philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau reminds us that patience also comes with great rewards. Such rewards are never instant, but can increase over time, like an investment that must be allowed to mature. Research suggests that people who cultivate patience experience better mental and even physical health, and have happier relationships with others over the course of their lives.
