It was the people I met through that, the people I would never have met otherwise as a farmer’s wife. I had it furnished from what was in my basement. I operated from a room that was about as big as a cupboard. By chance, I could then go back and have the opportunity to establish a Good Neighbor Council come Citizens Advice Bureau. While I was in Perth, I could do a course with Good Neighbor Council that related to migrants.
And it just happened that I went to Perth to have my three children with me for a couple of years instead of their being at boarding school. Q: June, Louise tells me that your life motto is dedicated to humanity. Pictured accompanying Queen Elizabeth II, June Craig was only the second woman in Western Australia to serve as a government minister. My gran’s obviously been a role model my whole life, instilling that your skills and capability are what define who you are and not your gender.
So, taking that background with a technology degree from Curtin University, I worked through different businesses, lots of startups in Western Australia, until starting my own with my husband, Rob Daw, (CIO, Hexagon’s Mining division) and we went about trying to digitize parts of the mining industry that had previously been overlooked or just considered too difficult to digitize. I had great aspirations to become an accountant at university and it was only doing one of the courses that we had to do in order to graduate was a computer programing course and it infuriated me, it challenged me, and at the end of the semester, I got top marks for it and I realized that I love being challenged, and so I changed my degree so that I could work in the technology space. LD: It’s difficult to live in Western Australia and not get involved in mining because it is such a dominant industry here. Q: Louise, tell us about your career in mining and technology and June’s influence along the way.
