I just sent this to the NT News Letters to the Editor address.
John Moyle of Wagaman writes (Mon 29 Oct) about the election that “the minor parties appear struck silent”. Nothing could be further from the truth. I am running for Solomon as a member of the Liberty & Democracy Party. Every day I talk [...]

An increasingly influential rallying point for lefties in Australia is the group blog Larvatus Prodeo. I drop in there from time to time because some of the writers are quite sensible.

Next week you will be able to find me at the second fundraising Booster Draft. I’m hoping to get a mention into the Sunday papers; we’ll see if that comes off. I will [...]

I just got back from the Hot 100 FM studio where I did a live-to-air interview. I think it went OK, though I’ll need to listen to the recording to get a better sense of things.
Unsurprisingly the hosts brought up the guns thing again, but I still managed to put in a plug for our [...]

I am a geek of serious pedigree. I tick the major geek boxes — roleplaying games and CCGs, watching anime, reading science fiction and studying computer science. Most of my friends are similarly geeks.
When discussion came up of how to raise some money for my campaign, we naturally turned to our geek roots. During my [...]
