My family has taught me so much about the value of hard work. My mum, Jenny Roberts, taught me what a truly good employer looks like. She always treated her people with dignity. They were never seen as a cost but always as an investment. She spent decades not just training apprentices in their craft but supporting them as they grew into adults with patience and kindness. She had the vision and fortitude to fight to retain and strengthen an apprenticeship system when the national structures were collapsing. My dad taught me that some of the most impactful work that we can do is outside of the workplace, in our community. There are generations of cricketers—good cricketers—who have been fortunate enough to have Barry Roberts' patient hand guide their batting and talk them through the intricacies of that beautiful game. My brother, Greg, a man of the land, reminds me daily of the value of loyalty and perseverance in our work.
