My twin brother put it well yesterday in light of Facebook’s decision to remove all Australian news content (including my blog?) from its feed. Zuckerberg isn’t immoral – he’s amoral. Which isn’t perhaps as much a moral declaration about Zuckerberg as much as it is an observation about him. Ok, I know the brilliant The […]

Margaret’s Kangaroo Court
Another year another Margaret Court story. The furore around the tennis great receiving a national award for community services (via her church Victory Life in Perth running a large food distribution program) on Australia Day, will ensure that anyone nominated from now one will have the sexual gloryometer run over them first, just to make […]
Breaking Bad:What Christians can do about their public image
Eternity News’ Ben McEachen interviewed me about my new book Being the Bad Guys: How to Live For Jesus in a World That Says You Shouldn’t You can read it at the link below. FWIW I think Ben gets the tone I am trying to get across. It seems important in a time in which […]
(Guest blog post): The poor who give versus the rich who sell
How come my friends in Glasgow were poor but they gave me their stuff, but my friends in Perth are rich and they sell me their stuff? A few months into our new life in Perth in 2012 our 10 year old made that astute observation. Now, almost 9 years into our life in Perth […]
Five Reasons to Buy My Book
Okay, so last week I gave five reasons not to buy my book and the reverse psychology seems to have worked (evil genius that I am). So today I am going to pitch you five reasons why you should buy my book. If you don’t already know, it comes out Feb 1st and I am […]
Five Reasons Not to Buy My Book
So my book Being the Bad Guys: How to Live for Jesus in a World That Says You Shouldn’t officially comes out in a month – Feb 1st. And I can’t wait. Hey, maybe you can’t wait either. Not that you have to. From what I hear, anyone who pre-ordered it a month ago from […]
Some other stuff I’ve been doing this week
Life’s been busy. Our church has been searching for a new senior pastor so that process has taken up a lot of my time. I’m also in the throes of writing PR articles for the promotion of my book, Being The Bad Guys, which you can pre-order here if you are in Australia, here in […]
Weekly Roundup
Here’s some stuff from me in my role at Third Space, as well as some other articles worth having a read of, including a superb essay by former SAS soldier, Federal Politician, and a friend of mine, Andrew Hastie. First up, David Robertson and me with another The Kitchen Table, discussing the idea of whether […]
Aussie missionary to UK, Josh Williamson, was free but unwise.
The Brisbane-born pastor who is facing calls for his deportation from the UK back to Australia, over his public comments praising the cancellation of the Cornwall Pride event on a public Facebook page event has acted unwisely. If Josh Williamson is deported – which seems an unlikely scenario – then he should give some time […]
Waxing lyrical about Cobra Kai: a reality kick to the face for X-Gens
Where are they now? X-Gens once trawled their old yearbooks wondering what their class mates were up to, and asking themselves, “Did I ever look that young?” Now of course, X-Gens just cut to the chase and stalk their old classmates on Facebook, ramping up the creepy and dialling down the mystery. Fatter, older, balder. […]
