Andrew Fox recently acquired car number 43, while Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton bought cars 44 and 45 for himself and his father, respectively. During the Australian Open in January, Lindsay Fox was seen enjoying the men’s singles final with Mercedes-Benz. The car, a left-hand drive, can only be driven on racetracks due to being illegal on Australian roads. Notable figures in attendance included Carlton player Oliver Hollands and broadcaster Elise Elliott, as well as Fox’s grandchildren Charlie and Hannah Fox, who works as the Fox Special Projects Marketing Strategist.
In an interesting combination of cricket and mining, Australian cricket captain Pat Cummins is set to promote the Critical Minerals, Mining, and ESG conference in Western Australia’s Swan Valley. The conference will feature a lineup of speakers and cricket stars, including Justin Langer and Brad Hogg, with a three-course lunch at Sandalford Winery. Cummins, a co-founder of Cricket for Climate, declined to attend the conference despite being invited, citing a lack of alignment. However, the event aims to raise money for global education through the LBW Trust, using cricket as a platform.
Speculation in Canberra suggests that shadow treasurer Angus Taylor could be a successor to Opposition Leader Peter Dutton in the event of an election loss. Taylor, known for his Liberal credentials and fundraising efforts, is hosting a high-priced fundraiser with the Hume Forum in Canberra. The event, billed as a “CEO’s Policy Roundtable Dinner,” aims to attract wealthy donors to the party. In addition to his political pursuits, Taylor has also showcased a more personal side, promoting his daughter Adelaide’s victory in the Australian Wife Carrying Championships.
While Taylor navigates the political landscape and court donors, he also maintains a “cool dad” persona outside the political arena. His involvement in promoting his daughter’s achievements in the quirky sport of wife carrying adds a touch of humor to his image. With a background in energy and experience with consulting firm McKinsey, Taylor brings a mix of professional and personal interests to his role within the party. The Canberra rumor mill continues to speculate on his potential future leadership role within the Liberal Party, should circumstances lead to a change in leadership. Ultimately, Taylor’s multifaceted approach to politics and public engagement reflects a blend of traditional values and modern interests.
