About
Hi. I am a Melbourne, Australia-based IT insider and self-styled entrepreneur and commentator. I blog here about general issues, though if you don’t know me my writing or media appearances may be of more interest. I also spend time in China.
In my professional life, I am proprietor of Q9 Software. We do for-hire software development, mainly focused on the telecoms industry at the moment. We also have several products in development.
In my other job, I am currently vice-chair of Electronic Frontiers Australia. EFA is a grass-roots organisation defending the rights of Australian internet users, sometimes also refered to as an ‘industry watchdog’. My interests include copyright reform, consumer rights and Internet censorship. I am a spokesperson for EFA on the subject of the Rudd Government’s attempts to censor the Internet in Australia – see the Media for some of my comments on this scheme. See the EFA home page for lots more information.
I am a an active member of the Australian Labor Party and am president of the Clayton South Branch of the party.
