Everyone who engages in hate of ‘others’ – based on religion, race/ethnicity/heritage, nationalism, politics, ‘class’, gender, sexual orientation, etc – shares a level of responsibility in all hate crimes because they have shown and/or taught acceptance for spreading hate. That is why it is so offensive to see those who perpetuate ‘othering’ and division inContinue reading “Hate Begets More Hate”

Rich Food, Rich Life
On Father’s Day I enjoyed the most authentic Italian food I’ve had in Australia and I wanted to share something about the experience. But this post is not really about food. This is about the value of immigration at a moment in history when immigration is being criticised, including – incredibly – by immigrants andContinue reading “Rich Food, Rich Life”
Aussie Trumpian
Harnessing hate and division, when it has been so thoroughly stoked by the orange despot and his mates afar, must be incredibly enticing to a young man with extreme political aspirations … Now that the hate machine of our domestic far right has run on from the racism they whipped up in the voice referendumContinue reading “Aussie Trumpian”
2025: A challenging year
As I massage the hands of my love,Her finger tips rawly sensitive and nails lifting,One of many side-affects of carboplatin treatment,I reflect on how the only thing I want to be remembered forIs being the best husband and father I could be.

The Only Sustainable Strategy For An Authentic Centre Left
If it still exists … The following submission is written in full sincerity to be considered at Per Capita Australia’s “Community” Tax summit as a follow on to a debate I had with Emma Dawson, director of PCA, on LinkedIn on 6 Feb 2025 (my post was removed that evening for reasons and in aContinue reading “The Only Sustainable Strategy For An Authentic Centre Left”
Unheeded Prescience
In my 18 year history of blogging and writing essays on socioeconomics, most of my analysis details a contrarian view on contemporary society and what is and has gone wrong, often with a warning on what is likely to happen if authentic corrective measures are not taken. My choice of ‘homes4aussies’ as my website nameContinue reading “Unheeded Prescience”

Australia’s Housing Crisis Is No Black-eyed Swan Event 17 years In The Making
How would it play out, in the media, and I guess I’d better include the courts, if a bloke at a community gathering with senior politicians – cabinet ministers – did a Ron Casey on one of them? See, I nearly did this in 2008. I REALLY nearly did it! I was recovering from aContinue reading “Australia’s Housing Crisis Is No Black-eyed Swan Event 17 years In The Making”
Time To Drain The Billabong
The factor likely the most important in the US election result is also the most unlikely to be discussed – because it suits neither major party nor powerful interests to highlight it. You see when I talked about the West led by America moving towards fascism in “Reset” I was not only talking about (far)Continue reading “Time To Drain The Billabong”
Make Rugby League Great Again: A proposal to the NRL and RLPA
The Problem: Administrators see Rugby League not as a game but as a ‘product’ to be commercialised and monetised. To appeal to the marginal viewer rule changes have made Rugby League manically fast with homogenised over-coached touch-footballised style of play with homogenised powerful ‘athlete’ players. Rugby league is being commoditised in an international market forContinue reading “Make Rugby League Great Again: A proposal to the NRL and RLPA”
