When politics needs influencing who you gonna call?

While the ultimate decision on who gets to govern Australia is still being made, the results are being measured on how digital / online activity had an impact on both Politicians and Voters. There are of course many ‘hustings’ online that relevant candidates had to consider, each with its own merits and bad points, each [...]

Are you listening, politicians? I didn’t think so!

There is a lot of talk about this election campaign and the fact it hasn’t been much of a ‘social election’, meaning the lack of Social Media involvement. Ever since the Barack Obama campaign team leapt whole heartedly into using social media and other forms of digital communications to promote issues, communicate and raise funds [...]

Welcome to the Lucky Country

Warning this post has an extreme overuse of bad clichés It has dawned on me that we have turned our back on our entire culture.

Terminal Chaos aka human collaboration at its worst
Been traveling again this week. And it always amazes me when you are waiting for your bags how crazy we all are and completely self interested, which ultimately leads to the most inefficient system I have seen.
