Leftist, unionist, cat person, aficionado of horror and Z grade cinema. Lover of beaches, metal and thrash punk, impractical cars, wine and a good book. 30 years in newspapers. Recovering Murdoch columnist. Australia.
I’ve had a near complete beak from social media for the last three weeks (refreshing and recommended), so apologies for non responses and not following people back yet. Will re-engage properly over the next few days.

I’m writing a Musk book. I’ve published tons of research at PROOF.

Enjoy this NBC report.
