I have steadfastly criticised and praised Governments and other actors in the COVID-19 pandemic when and where I felt it was due. I agree with China’s sensitivity over Western innuendo about the origin of the virus that causes COVID-19. I realise that many will immediately dismiss this on the basis of my friendship with Dr. ShiContinue reading “On The Origin Of COVID-19 And The Trade Difficulties With China”

End Racism!
That the statement above the photo is relevant to me as an individual means that it is of equal relevance to my nation⦠We can never deal with our issues if we lack the courage to “pull back the carpet” and admit to our failings⦠Admitting errors and failings is what takes true courage, notContinue reading “End Racism!”
Racism and Political Correctness
It is time that I explicitly state my views on racism. The issue which I consider goes right to the heart of dealing with racism in Australia is political correctness, which is ironic because political correctness is perhaps the most often stated justification by racists for the need to express their beliefs.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Outbreak Update (Final)

Super Hero Powers: 1918 and now
Right throughout this year comparisons to the 1918 flu pandemic have been unavoidable, so it is instructive to consider where our knowledge stands today – that provides the tools which we use to fight this pandemic – in relation to 1918. This is something that really should be highlighted because it is a source ofContinue reading “Super Hero Powers: 1918 and now”
“We Mask Because We Care”
A business risk management strategy that benefits society How a business is seen to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic – how much customers perceive the business cares about their wellbeing – will be remembered long after we have forgotten the difference between vaccine efficacy and effectiveness. Last week I launched my campaign “Make This SummerContinue reading ““We Mask Because We Care””
