“The one time school teacher is a self-made man, who worked his way to the top - after starting out with a small country pub, the Wudinna Hotel in 1975.” B U R N E T T M E D A L A W A R D Announcing the award, SA President David Basheer described Peter as a “forthright and visionary leader who travelled a parallel national AHA journey with Peter Burnett, becoming great mates along with way”. “The one time school teacher is a self- made man, who worked his way to the top – after starting out with a small country pub, the Wudinna Hotel in 1975. “Today, his family’s 11 hotels are amongst South Australia’s most iconic venues. The family also owns the Ivory Tavern in Tweed Heads.” Reflecting on the honour, Peter paid tribute to Peter Burnett AM, who he described as “a very respected and much missed colleague”. He was also shocked to learn that he was this year’s recipient. “A few lines in, it became obvious that David (Basheer) was talking of me,” he said. “The intro would have been much longer if he had included my mistakes and stuff ups. I was overwhelmed. “I think it bodes well for the culture of the National AHA that they choose to acknowledge the past service of a former office holder, who has long since transitioned to feather duster status.” NOTABLE BATTLES During his introduction, David highlighted several high stakes negotiations that Peter led, one being the introduction of GST. “The Howard government was not often caught with their legislative pants down,” recalled Peter. “However, the Opposition decided to exploit the falsehood of the Prime Minister’s assurance that the price of a beer would not increase as a result of the introduction of the GST. “Mr Howard had been poorly advised by those who didn’t realize the GST added to the higher margin on premise would increase the price. Around $20m had been collected by the time the Senate blocked the approval. “The government was in a bind. “It was our suggestion to create a differential excise rate for draught beer that enabled them to get the legislation through. That differential has saved beer drinkers 10 cents a schooner for the last 23 years. “It’s a great shame that the government created the Foundation for Alcohol Research & Education (FARE) with the money they had wrongly collected. FARE have been a huge pain in the side of the industry from that day on.” Still SA Family owned and operated. Nippy’s has a range of products suitable for the Food Service and Hospitality Trade.
