My latest in the Guardian is about my favourite genre of modern writing: published authors publishing columns in national newspapers about how they’ve been silenced.

My latest in the Guardian is about how Elon Musk is about as “punk rock” as a pocket protector.

"As an Australian Catholic, I appreciate that secularism is not an imposition on our religious freedom: it is, in fact, the only guarantee of its protection."

My latest in the Guardian is about how Australians aren’t monarchists, we’re just really lazy at being republicans. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/oct/16/australia-charles-camilla-royal-tour-monarchy-republic

FIRST REVIEW of my “Werewolf” at Arts Centre Melbourne at ITellYouWhatIThink and it is A CORKER. SO glad to see our incredible design team (Harry Gill, Sidney Younger & Daniel Nixon) get credit they deserve. “Bombastic and loud and revolutionary!” “a howling success!” COME!!

I recently saw an amazing Navajo rug at the National Gallery of Art. It looks abstract at first, but it is a detailed representation of the Intel Pentium processor. Called "Replica of a Chip", it was created in 1994 by Marilou Schultz, a Navajo/Diné weaver and math teacher. Intel commissioned the weaving as a gift to the American Indian Science & Engineering Society. 1/6

My new show Werewolf starts its run tonight at Arts Centre Melb for Melbourne Fringe and I am excited and terrified, bloody buy a ticket and come, #auspol. It’s me picking fights with extremists. Again. Tix via my Linktree in bio.

Next time someone’s trying to tell you how left-wing the are by supporting Jill Stein, remind them who their comrades are.

My new play “Werewolf” starts its run at Arts Centre Melbourne on Wednesday. It’s brutal. It’s dark. It’s a toxic sneer and a black laugh.

I have loved every minute of making this show. Come: https://melbournefringe.com.au/event/werewolf/

My latest in the Guardian asks: Does the forced-birth-advocating Liberal MP in South Australia have some kind of tactical master plan… or is he just another authoritarian banana? #saparli #auspol

My latest in the Guardian is about how Australia EXPANDING its IVF franchise to single & LGBTQIA+ prospective parents is an unambiguously good outcome… although we are right to be cynical about its motivations. #auspol
