Perhaps there are elements of homelessness that you cannot control, but Mr Abbott, if you want my vote what are you going to do about the elements that you can control? In all likelihood, absolutely nothing because it’s not a popular issue, you won’t win an election for promising to rid the streets of contrary, drug-addicted nutters.

I’ve toyed with the idea of keeping a diary and maybe one day turning it into a book, but honestly I have greater  things to achieve than to rehash the past to monetise my misery, so I’ll just tell it here…
Dear Diary… Last night Nine News in Brisbane ran a story on my family. My [...]

This is just a brief post to let you know what’s been going on in our lives since I posted the Open Letter to the Prime Minister and Queensland Premier.

Unfortunately [...]

I just feel the need to bang out a quick blog post, even though I really don’t have the time. It’s self-indulgent, maybe. No one has to read it, I just need to write it.

The tension in our house is palpable. Actually it not even palpable, it’s probably truer to say it has taken on a body [...]

Today is my one and only daughter’s birthday. Six years ago today we made the trip to the hospital (again) to take delivery of the most precious gift any person can ever receive – a child.
