ABOUT MARK

This site brings together articles and podcast conversations shaped by lived experience, conscience, and a concern for how decisions made at a distance affect ordinary Australians.

​

For most of my life, my focus was on family, work, faith, and simply getting on with life. Like many Australians, I trusted that our institutions broadly functioned as they should. That trust was challenged during the COVID era, when public policies began to affect children, vulnerable people, livelihoods, and matters of conscience in ways that could no longer be ignored.

​

I am a Christian man, married since 1998, a father, a grandfather, and a foster carer. Responsibility, not ideology, shapes how I approach questions of faith, culture, and power.
