I use a Sony lavalier wireless mic similar in design to the one shown in the link. Can't comment on that specific one that you have identified but the Sony works very well. Things to look out for are good sound quality (obviously) and a decent range. Wouldn't be without it . Sennheiser also have a similar model.

Not sure of the range of those wireless mics but a good shotgun mic may be an alternative.

Not sure if it applies in Oz, but here in the States the government recently changed the frequencies available for "white space" devices like wireless microphones, so many of our existing lavs are now operating in an illegal frequency range. Just something to be aware of before investing in a wireless...

The ME-2 is an omnidirectional microphone. Omnidirectional microphones are not directional and pick up sound from all directions. The ME-4 is a cardioid microphone. cardioid means heart shape, Cardioid microphones are directional -- sound is not picked up equally from all directions but mainly from one preferred direction.

I have found out that judging of the cattle will be indoors, and using a speaker system. I am thinking of recording this onto my laptop using something like soundforge. Then it should just be a matter of dropping the judges comments on the timeline in PE when editing the footage.
Is it as easy as turning up with a speaker plug thats like a double adapter, and plugging my laptop into the microphone port, or have I missed something?

I think that what you are saying is correct but not sure I really understand what your plan is for the microphone. Especially where you say 'plugging my laptop into the microphone port'. You might check and see if they will be taping and if you can get a copy. Also it may be possible for you to plug right into the audio board at the show, never hurts to ask

If you do get to connect to something be sure to test the audio first. The feed from the board might be way to hot for the mic input on your laptop, then all you will get is some really bad audio. You might be best off just connecting a decent mic to your laptop and sitting close to one of the speakers.

I looked at the M-Audio MIDI when I was doing my research, and it had a lot of negative user reviews.I doubt if the package deal is worth the price in the long run. I decided on the Fast Track Pro based on a lot of positive user reviews and it has worked perfectly every time I've used it.
I'm not familiar with the Art Tube, so I have no comment.
The Griffin doesn't have XLR inputs so it won't work for what you need.
