MARK Harvey-Sutton has been appointed chief executive of the Australian Live Exporters Council, replacing Brett Pointing. According to an ALEC statement, Mr Pointing was stepping down due to “a change in personal circumstances” which required him to return to Queensland. Mr Pointing had been in the job just three months, having replaced Simon Westaway, the former Jetstar communications guru who faced intense media questioning last year during the Awassi Express scandal. ALEC chairman Simon Crean indicated he was sorry Mr Pointing was leaving. “It is with regret that Brett is leaving and I understand that it is a decision not taken lightly. However, personal circumstances change and we understand and support Brett’s decision,” Mr Crean said.
