Feds meat and wool chair voted off
In a surprise move, Federated Farmers meat and wool group has dumped its chair Toby Williams.
Your old mate was saddened to hear of the demise of former Fed Farmers chief executive ‘Toowoomba’ Tony St Clair during the holiday break.
St Clair was boss at Feds from 1997 to 2005. Hailing from the great arid continent, he was cheekily christened ‘Toowoomba” Tony by yours truly back in the day. Despite having the borax poked at him regularly in this column, St Clair took it all in his stride and with good humour. The Hound passes on his condolences to Toowoomba Tony’s family and his past friends and colleagues at Feds.
