(A response to: Strongest hints yet of biological activity outside the solar system, University of Cambridge) About one hundred and forty-seven light years south of us, circling a huge old red dwarf star, is a […]
I’d begun the voyage at three-thirty the prior night. After driving four hundred kilometres to Armidale, signing a lease, and picking up a moving van, I’d driven it back to Lismore. All before piling my […]
For a satirist, Trump is a diamond encrusted 100% solid gold shitter. He is an overblown cartoon caricature of a populist leader. The sort of clownish character that might have been dreamt up in a […]
Some revelations are plain discouraging. My back of the envelope calculations indicate that I am far more likely to die in a plane accident than I am to win lotto. Perhaps if I play lotto […]
Once upon a time our unis were full of middle class poseurs wearing Che Guevara tee-shirts who were all airily declaring that ‘everything is political, man.’ Much has changed, today our unis are full of […]

I like to rummage about in the back drawers of our culture, dig out a bunch of glittery gee-gaws and trinkets, and then play with them in public. I have been called a ‘Cultural Commentator’ […]
When I was a preteen, television was the essential escape vehicle, and the best rides were all made in America. Every afternoon I would race home from school for my daily two-hour outing on the […]
According to reports, about half the people who say they have read Orwell’s 1984 are lying. Sometimes I wish I was one of them. The story has ever after haunted my dreams. The final paragraph […]
