Libertarian Legacy Honoured with Lifetime Achievement Award

Customer Feedback “Very good, I first spoke to Belinda at Campbelltown to enquire about a storage unit which we needed while in the process of selling our home. Belinda was really helpful and very pleasant to speak to. A few days later I went over to have a look at the size of the unit and met Belinda face to face. She was very nice to both my husband and myself and has given us several ideas to help make the most out of our storage space. Each time we have spoken with Belinda she has always been very friendly and I thank her for her help.” the Manager of the storage facility in Preston, VIC. At the moment I am in between houses and moving out was a stressful experience. It was great to see somebody so friendly and helpful as Sandra! It was actually because of her that I have decided to rent the space in the facility for longer than previously anticipated. She is very professional but simultaneously very friendly. She is a great asset to Kennards and I congratu- late you on having her in the company.” “Clean, conveniently located space at Flemington. Easily accessed 24 hours. Staff were friendly and helpful. Availa- bility of trolleys was great. The clean, fresh and free tea and coffee facilities and the chocolate vending machine were a life saver. All together, made “going to storage” a very pleasant experience.” “Everything was great! Storing with Kennards was fantastic, staff were always helpful and friendly and the Wollongong storage facility was always clean and easy to access. I Would recommend Kennards to anyone who needs storage. Special mention to Matthew, he is a great person to deal with, always happy to assist and a lovely young man.” “Clean, tidy centre at Rydalmere. My father has had no problems with using his storage space and has commended the crew on excellent customer service. At a stressful time in his life Kennards have made this part a breeze!” “With this letter I would like to comple- ment one of your staff members Sandra,

Sam Kennard accepting his Father’s Lifetime Achievement Award at the ALS Friedman Conference

O n Saturday May 3rd, Neville Kennard was posthumously awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Australian Libertarian Society. It was another reminder for me about how deep and wide his pro-freedom roots and activities spread. The Award again remembers long held and unwavering commitment to personal freedom and to resist the states relent- less incursion into people’s lives. On accepting the Award, I reminded the audience of his instrumental role in the formation of The Workers Party in January, 1975.

In 1976 he discovered the early initiative of Greg Lindsay establishing a think-tank later to become known as The Centre for Independent Studies (CIS). Nev provided the first significant third- party donation that enabled Greg Lindsay to properly set the CIS up. In addition, he served as the CIS inaugural Chairman for the first eight years. The Kennards Family is thankful to the Australian Libertarian Society for remembering Nev’s legacy for freedom. Sam Kennard Managing Director
