It takes courage not to lead from a safe space because that is a place I already know. It is leading from the unknown, the unexplored, the dark spaces that takes true courage.

The plant and the Fruit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I met my wife twenty-six years ago. We didn’t fall in love hard and fast the way some do. For me, I knew love and it wasn’t there at the start. Maybe that’s because I was thirty-two by then, with a few relationships behind me — enough to know love is more than the spark.Upon deep reflection, I know now that I didn’t fall in love with her. I fell in love with what she gave me.Her warmth. Her laugh. That smile — the one that lights up a room. The way she made me feel like I mattered. The way she l
“We’re Here for a Reason” — And Why Most of Us Never Get Close to It (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve heard this line my whole life. At funerals. In pep talks from well-meaning friends. On an inspiration picture and even stitched onto throw pillows in that cursive font that makes everything sound like wisdom. We’re here for a reason. People say it the way they’d say “have a nice day” — a little verbal shrug meant to comfort, and then everyone moves on with their lives. But sit with it for more than five seconds and it stops being comforting. It starts being an accusation.Because if we’re he
You Are What You Do: Why Politicians’ Actions Expose Their True Loyalties (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For too long, I have allowed the political class in Australia to live rent-free in my head. At the core of it, I have landed on the conclusion that the political class in Australia and in most Western countries “Are what they do” as most of us are. What do I mean? “You are what you do” is one of those deceptively simple phrases that cuts through the fog of self-justification. It means your identity, character, and real priorities are revealed by your actions—not by your speeches, campaign slogan
Give-up-itis: The Hidden Human Cost of Lockdowns and Isolation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Since 2020, I’ve spoken with thousands of Australians I’d never met before. The message was consistent: life under Labor has become significantly harder. Many expressed concern that the country is heading down the path of socialism. I often directed them to page 4 of the Australian Labor Party’s own constitution — a document that rewards a very particular kind of politics.This isn’t just about economics or ideology. The deeper issue is what happens when people lose hope.We’ve all heard of “Monda
The Warmth Was Never Optional (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There was a time when you didn’t write about Port Arthur or 9/11. Not yet. The scale of the loss put it beyond commentary — society understood, instinctively, that some wounds needed time before they became text. That restraint was honest and earned.Yet as I research into these events, I noticed something that changed.With every major tragedy that followed — the Indian Ocean Tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, the Boston Marathon bombing, the George Floyd protests, COVID-19, the Bondi attack — the gap b
