As a 19-year-old

Finalist in the
inaugural (1982)
‘Mathy’ competition,
it brought me to
immediate national
attention, and with
my subsequent win
the following year,
‘The Mathy’ provided
me with the funds
and contacts to
launch my career
nationally and since
internationally.

I would whole-
heartedly support
the endeavours
(of the ASC) in
identifying young
outstanding
Australian talent
and nurturing it
to full fruition.
