#124 Weekend reads – it looks like Australia is stuffed!
A few years ago, my friend Joe Augustin, asked if I had plans to move back to Australia one day, and I said, for my boy’s future, Australia does not look like a great option. Well apparently, I was right – the escalation is here and it’s alarming. Sorry fellow Aussies, but we must face …

#122 Weekend reads – want to see what global calamity looks like?
Then watch Ancient Apocalypse on Netflix, although I strongly urge you to put on your critical thinking hat when you do.

#119 Weekend reads – tackling the massive issue of fashion industry emissions
The fashion industry has been in the news in recent weeks, focusing on Shein – a fast fashion provider on steroids. The coverage claims workers in its supply chain are paid as little as 3p to work 18-hour shifts. If they make a mistake on the 500 garments per day they are required to produce, …

#118 Weekend reads – post-pandemic Aussie family reunion at last
Greetings from Melbourne, where after nearly three years, I can finally reconnect with my family again. The good news is, everyone seems to be in a great place, which is a relief, because the impact of the pandemic on so many has been so hard. An issue we’ll be dealing with for years to come. …
