Lover of music, photography, dogs and dirt. Not necessarily in that order.
My friend Craig Schuftan is a brilliant sound producer. After leaving triple j, he moved to Berlin, where he created this work. It's a deeply creative response to a cassette he found in an op shop.....Audio art that your ears will thank you for.

Why on earth is the ABC platforming 2GB presenters on its news website? There are so many ways to report on John Laws death. All far more interesting than this. Laws was at 2UE when at his peak. It's simply lazy.

Once ran the numbers on John Laws’ claim he had 2 million listeners. Had less than 200k. Published it. He rang, abused me, sent lawyers, heavied my fill-in editor who buckled meekly and gave Laws op-ed space in which he defamed me. Not 1 word of my original piece was changed/corrected.

John Laws is dead. One of Australia's most successful broadcasters. As a teenager I rang his show. We argued for 10mins on air. He hung up on me with the words "you're obviously a loser in life & going nowhere. Goodbye."

Australian journalists rapidly learning what it's like to report in China these days. At least they weren't being tailed by drones. Which happened to a certain BBC reporter. Isn't that right Stephen? 👂👁️

If one is censured by a nation's Parliament for behaviour officially found to be "corrosive of trust in government", and is referred to an anti-corruption commission for misleading its Cabinet about the "crude and cruel" Robodebt scheme, how is one then eligible for said country's highest honour?

Perhaps Tim Wilson can tell us how much the Liberal Party spent on his campaign, and how big were the cheques that Advance, Australians for Prosperity and other Atlas and Liberal-aligned organisations cashed on his behalf to shoehorn him back into Goldstein?

In France in the late 1970s, Toyota mailed out promotional envelopes that folded into a hand-held vinyl record player. The envelope contained a record, a needle was placed on it, and when the record was turned, you could hear an audio recording about the Toyota Corolla.
