I'm an Australian journalist in Washington DC covering US politics. My work currently appears in Crikey. I get paid in socks.

Before this plum DC posting, I was the Canberra correspondent and news editor at Sydney Star Observer, Australia's oldest and most read gay and lesbian newspaper.

My stories have been published in The Advocate, Washington Blade and a bunch of Australian publications nobody in America has heard of.

On radio I am a regular contributor on JOY 94.9 in Melbourne. If I ever master the terror of live radio, I'll next consider sky diving and bull running.
