Sharing cuz my thoughts are very much aligned to this and couldn’t have said it better. A few extracts from the article I connected with very much: - We in Sri Lanka have for far too long lived in the false notion that all the amazing natural gifts that Sri Lanka is blessed with can alone take us on a journey that will make us the envy of the world…. - ……..Whilst we have been unfortunate to have had leaders who were unashamedly corrupt, we have lived in the false notion that all ills of our nation are the result of corruption of officials, forgetting the fact that we have for years been content with allowing our politicians to spend more than the Treasury collects and import beyond the country’s capacity. We as a nation have for far too long expected the government to be the driver of investment, employment and growth rather than demanding for policies that create an effective environment for private entrepreneurship to thrive and contribute towards national success - It is my belief that this election is an opportunity to build on the successful post crisis stabilization of the economy. To build on the success of a process and journey that has been validated and applauded globally - Most importantly it is an opportunity to ensure that corrections made to Sri Lanka’s decade long policy errors are strengthened and not reversed. - This is an election that will either enable us to stay the course of economic revival or deviate once again in the belief that a messiah or fringe theories can deliver success

I recently spoke on behalf of our client, UNSW, at a council meeting to encourage Council to support the delivery of additional student housing in Randwick. The story from The Sydney Morning Herald provides a good summary… "This Sydney university wants to build 1000 apartments. Locals are up in arms" - https://lnkd.in/gMcjVucW The responsibility to unlock and deliver housing at all levels of Council is important to say the least. Sydney is in a once-in-a-generation housing crisis, and it is clear that there is no silver bullet to solve the problem at hand. The NSW Government’s commitment to the National Housing Accord requires the delivery of 377,000 new homes over the next 5 years. To achieve this, there have been many initiatives both signalled and implemented, including the flagship Transport Oriented Development program, low-and mid-rise reforms, and new housing targets. The task of delivering housing in the Housing Accord is momentous, and collaboration and commitment at all levels of government is needed. Industry will also play a critical role in achieving this aspiration, particularly in the delivery of diverse housing options which will create greater supply and relieve pressure from existing rental stock. Here’s hoping for swift reforms, action, and accountability. Beam Planning Michael Rowe Chris Forrester #BeamTeam #HousingCrisis #StudentHousing #NSW #NSWPlanning 

The WSA welcomes today's publication of the Senedd Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport and International Relations Committee report into the impact of funding reductions for culture and sport. Direct investment into sport via Sport Wales is approximately £8,700,000 lower than if the levels of investment in 2010 had increased in line with inflation. If Wales wishes to maintain its proud sporting history, continue to compete on the World stage, and inspire and enable our citizens to enjoy healthy and active lives, this long-term downward trend must be reversed.

Fun Friday: What does an American college football coach get for a domestic relocation package? Here are some benefits Bill Belichick will be receiving to become the new head coach at North Carolina: 📦 $100k for relocation expenses (he'd better tip the movers, as long as they take good care of all the championship rings and trophies) 🚗 $7,500 vehicle allowance or use of leased vehicle ✈️ 25 hours of private airplane usage per year (that's one I've never seen in a relocation policy before) 💵 $100k annual expense allowance (talk about miscellaneous) 🏌♂️ Country club membership 🏀 4 tickets to all UNC home sporting events Will this relocation be a success? Will it be short-term, long-term, permanent? And who gets to review taxes with him? What would Coach Belichick's reaction be to talking about gross ups?
