"I came to Darwin in 1968 after eight years in Nauru to join
the then Northern Territory Administration. Most of you
present tonight would have had no appreciation of the size
on the NT Administration. My role initially was to take
charge of the Commercial Accounting Section. I had no
qualified accountants.
I became a member of the Branch soon after arrival in 1968
and President in 1970. I saw my role as being to persuade
the government of the Territory of the benefits which would
come out of offering careers to accountants within the
public service. This I did and the government approved an
initial ten trainees.
I had now progressed to Director of the Branch frequently
being exposed to the Public Accounts Committee of the
Australian Parliament and the Senate Estimates
Committee. My training as an accountant gave me the
confidence and ability to face these terrible persons in their
den.
As the Territory approached self government I became a
part of a working group developing the first Administration
and Audit Act.
Before I retired in 1987 I move through many management
roles in the Territory Service because of the expertise and
management skills developed as a CPA."
