- Comment on Bill Bailey on ABC Classic plays a theme tune for the Australian Ibis 6 days ago:
There were so many of them at the farm I worked at that they made them the icon for the farm’s produce. Coming to the city and hearing them referred to as bin chickens was weird. It’s more a reflection of our intrusion on their environment than anything else.

- Comment on From baby boomers to alphas, every generation struggles when buying a first home 3 weeks ago:
I was born in 1990, and the only people in my age group that I know who are buying houses are doing so with the help of family wealth. So long social mobility.

- Comment on Tupperware has filed for bankruptcy – is multi-level marketing in trouble? 1 month ago:
Australia sucks at recycling. When I lived in Germany the residential streets had separate bins for green, brown and clear glass. So it can be recycled while maintaining quality. Separating waste is a matter of social conscience.
- Comment on The rise of financial sovereignty — and why some Australians believe they don't have to pay tax - ABC News 7 months ago:
Taxation is not theft if the money is spent properly on services that benefit tax payers. Poor taxation policy is theft, since public service quality will diminish over time. Like what we are currently seeing with lack of investment in public services, combined with an asset owning class that doesn’t pay tax on its passive wealth, using that wealth to purchase more assets, which drives up prices and shrinks the middle class. If these people had better critical thinking they would rebel against that instead.
