I find our present political discourse and the main-stream media coverage of it highly frustrating. I have special interests in veteran, defence, disability, mental health, reconciliation and justice issues, but I comment on many different challenges our society faces, and have the odd wild idea.

Here I try to cut through the misinformation, spin and general obfuscation of politicians of all shades, as much for myself as anyone else. Above all, I try to be interesting and provide insights. You’ll be the best judge of whether I achieve any of that.
