production, which sees him in all capital cities and regional
centres around Australia, as well as involvement in

recently Kuala
Lumpur . Tony’s selection process for quality
entertainers and key note speakers for the conference arena has
earned him a reputation for honesty and integrity, combined with
fairness, in the entertainment world.
