A full room, three iconic Tasmanian teams, and one clear message: when you invest in people, everyone wins.
The Solstice Energy International Women’s Day lunch brought together the Tasmania Football Club , Tasmania Jewels and Hobart Hurricanes for a celebration of women in sport, leadership and community. The theme “Give to Gain” captured something simple but powerful, with plenty of stories about backing talent, opening doors and lifting others along the way.
There’s something very Tasmanian about that idea. When people support what’s being built here, momentum follows. Teams grow. Leaders emerge. Communities get stronger.
That’s the kind of energy we like to be part of.
We started here more than two decades ago, building and operating the state’s gas network. Those roots still run deep. Today we have grown into a Tassie-based energy business supplying both gas and electricity, but the principle hasn’t changed: invest in the place you’re part of.
That’s why supporting events like this matters.
Backing women in sport and leadership isn’t just good for the individuals on stage; it strengthens clubs, communities and the next generation coming through behind them.
“Give to Gain” might be this year’s International Women’s Day theme, but it’s also a pretty good description of how Tasmania works.
Thanks to everyone who made the event possible and to the athletes and leaders continuing to bring a different kind of energy to Tasmanian sport.
