Welcome to my new office location at 177 Bennetts rd Norman Park.
In the photos you can see there is a car park just out front of the building and you can see the door to my waiting room just to the left in the car park photo.
And a few chairs and a very happy plant in my waiting room.
I look forward to you all coming to see my new space.

Join me on Saturday 18th of April, 1pm at King George Square to take action against the new laws banning pro-Palestine expressions and stand with those resisting this repression.

This is part of the Not Our Law - Weekend of Action in Magan-djin in opposition to these new laws.

This is not our law. We won’t allow genocide, ethnic cleansing, occupation and apartheid to go unchallenged and we won’t watch idly as the government criminalises our compassion.

We will always stand with Palestinians for a Free Palestine

A lot of people are feeling very overwhelmed at the moment. It can feel like there is nothing you can do. But we can. We can’t give into hopelessness and find the power we all have.
Boycotting can be one of the most powerful and effective tools we have. Taking the money and therefore the power away from them all.
The makes it so easy.
Don’t give up. All our small actions can make a difference.

Who “deserves” to be Australian?

Our migration system has an ugly hierarchy in it — especially for people who arrived by boat. Endless hoops. Temporary life. The constant threat that no matter how many years you’ve worked, paid taxes, raised kids, built community… you can still be told: you don’t belong here.

And then Bondi happened.

A man known as AB jumped out of a taxi and ran towards danger while two gunmen terrorised a public place. He moved forward using cars and trees for cover, through what his lawyer described as horrific scenes. He waited for the moment the shooter would need to reload — and he rushed onto the footbridge and kicked the gun away.

He did that with “layers of trauma” already in his body. He did that knowing, deep down, this government doesn’t see him as “deserving”. He did that while living with the daily reality of visa insecurity. He did that because, in his heart, he believes in something simple and fiercely human:

If it was my children, I would hope strangers would run forward too.

And now he faces deportation.

So let’s sit with the open questions Australia keeps avoiding:

What makes someone Australian?
A passport — or a reflex to protect people you’ve never met?
A perfect record — or a willingness to risk your life for others?
A government label — or the values we claim to stand for: courage, care, solidarity, fairness?

Because if “Australian” means anything worth keeping, then AB showed it on that bridge.

He doesn’t need to prove he belongs. He already did.
Now the country needs to prove what it stands for.

Some reminders, for the holidays, but really all year round.
These are the international brand names but we have the AUS versions here in so called Australia.
