March 23, 2017 By Maggi Barnard


Chris Sweeney

How long have you lived in Forbes and what do you like about living here?
Forbes has been my home for 56 years, and it never ceases to amaze me how the Forbes people and businesses support our community both in good times and bad.

Where do you work and what do you enjoy most about your work?
I am self- employed as a lamb feed lotter and am proud to supply a quality product.

What do you do to unwind after work and on weekends?
I enjoy all facets of rugby, playing badminton, dragon boating and spending quality time with my family and friends. I also enjoy a beer every now and then.

What are you really good at?
Organising lunch for a few people… Also, rugby refereeing as I always try to finish in the top five referees on the field during the game. (PS: There is only one referee in rugby!)

If you could have a super power, what would it be?
To change the minds of the worst leaders of the world so people can live in their own country if they choose, so then there would be no refugee issues.

What is your pet hate?
My pet hate is selfish people who don’t contribute to either business or the community but then expect everything to be provided for them.
