Moved tiny mountains to make it happen… but finally my first proper holiday in months. Round the clock work, crazy last min dash to the airport, more work through the flight, a flurry of cancelled meetings and calls, but 5 blissful days of a return to my natural state, waking up when I want to, no obligations, bumming with friends, brilliant ( Read more... )

Today was a little special, I think that if everything works out in a few years, we will look back at the time we spent today in the boardroom as the moment of genesis….a series of decisions that could have a huge impact on our country, and repercussions around the world. It’ll probably be impossible to track in its totality and so much of it is ( Read more... )

I’ve spent the last two week going to just about every major hospital in NSW and Victoria, and while it’s an interesting project and somewhat fascinating at times, it’s not the most cheerful. Hospital by their nature can be rather depressing. Some situations were a little bizarre… like when I was in a room full of people walking around while ( Read more... )
