Rabbit Free Australia (RFA)’s
Chairman, Dr Peter Allen, was appointed as a Member (AM) in the
General Division of the Order of Australia — “For service to
science in the area of pest animal management through a range of
research and administrative roles, and to rugby union football”.
RFA congratulates Peter on this honour in recognition of his
long-standing professional commitment to minimising the impact of
invertebrate and vertebrate pest animals, both through the
development and adoption of acceptable pest control strategies and
through effective quarantine. Since his retirement from Executive
Officer of the Animal and Plant Control Commission in 2000, he has
been Chairman of the Pest Animal Control CRC, Chairman of the
successful Bid Team for the Invasive Animals CRC and now Chairman
of the Invasive Animals CRC. He is in his second year as Chair of
our Foundation.
His rugby interests included
representing SA as a player, President of Old Collegians Rugby
Football Club and President of the South Australian Rugby Union.
An eclectic mix of roles, some may say, but others would consider
both roles to be managing ferals! |
