Why We Eat What We Eat
January 24, 2012
As a cooking teacher, who regularly meets people through my cooking classes, here on the sunshine coast, I get to see what a cross-section of society likes to eat and feels comfortable with on their plate. It is interesting to observe shared traits amongst the groups of people, who pass through my cooking school, and it […]
Polymath
August 13, 2011
Having multiple talents and pursuing them in the marketplace, is it a blessing or a curse? I have a number of interests and have invested time in each of them and have achieved a level of proficiency in several of these pursuits. Does this entitle me to express these in the marketplace as vocations or […]

One God
May 4, 2011
Today in the harsh daylight of our overcrowded cities, in developed nations around the globe, we are encouraged to worship only one god, the holy dollar. People are rushing about in their cars, and on public transport, to reach their destinations, their places of work and of investment, where labour and lead may be turned […]

Gandhi
March 11, 2011
I enjoyed the opening installment of the program on Gandhi, currently showing on the ABC Monday’s at 7.30pm. It traced his roots to his birth town in India and looked at the early influences on his life. There is a tendency in us all, I think, to see great historical figures as ready-made and cardboard […]
Suicide Rates in Australia
March 10, 2011
I read with interest a recent report into suicide, published in The Australian newspaper, where it was declared that the rate of annual suicide in Australia is now well over that of road deaths. It was, I think, a feature written with the intent to ring a few alarm bells in this country, amongst leaders […]
Quick and Easy!

Quick and Easy – Transformation Guaranteed! We have all seen these words splashed across advertisements, books, and websites; and heard them coming out of the mouths of sales people everywhere. There are doctors, naturopaths, therapists, and other ‘so called’ health professionals, extracting dollars through the promotion of pills, courses and products – all claiming to […]
A Taxing Time
March 12, 2009
They say that only two things in life are certain, death and taxes, well I am yet to experience the former but have been hard at work at the latter once again. Yes the annual tax marathon has been in full swing for the last two weeks and at times it does feel like a […]
Retrenched After Two Days
January 29, 2009
The global economic crisis just bit me on the bum. I was recently employed on contract as a senior journalist for the local newspaper in my town. My wife had just started as their editor three days before me and we were both over the moon to be working in the field we loved and […]
Child Care Solutions
January 19, 2009
Child Care Solutions Aged care and child care synergies for a better world. By Sudha Hamilton. An idea that I have been carrying around for sometime is to do with two similar needs from two disparate subsections of our communities – the old and the very young both require care and company. What if we […]

Foodmatters DVD Review
December 10, 2008
Heading: Foodmatters DVD Reviewed. Subheading: You are what you eat. I was really impressed with the content of Foodmatters – You are what you eat - strong voices speaking with confidence about nutrition in the face of the institutionalised apathetic attitude of the scientific/medical community. This subject has been close to my own heart for […]
Earth Hour
December 8, 2008
I am writing up the international copy of Earth Hour online for the WWF and it is bringing home to me what an exciting concept Earth Hour is. Researching what is happening in Moldova, Belize, Vietnam, Belgium, Panama, Kenya, Fiji and the list goes on and on, I can sense the amazing unifying energy that […]
Fatherhood
December 1, 2008
Heading: Fatherhood Subheading: All the thrills and spills. To say having children has changed my life is probably up there with the greatest personal understatement of all time.
