About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Save the world,

ABOUT ME

I live in a family of me and my son - and we live with a few friends as well.

Usually though...
We like to use nonviolent action to change the world.
We are interested in how ordinary people can do politics.

I work as a counsellor in Aboriginal communities in Far Far North Queensland. I have many friends there now. It is very interesting and rewarding work.

PHILOSOPHY

If you pay people good loving attention, the best comes out in them.
And its good to take action to change things so that more people can have a better life.
