Bill Shorten and aluminium jobs
It was an interesting time to talk to Federal Employment Minister Bill Shorten on 2GB and MTR while filling-in for Chris Smith, given the news that 600 aluminium jobs are at risk at ALCOA’s Geelong smelter. I was brought up in a town (Kurri Kurri) where aluminium jobs are a vital part of the economy,it’s [...]
World’s Best Peach Christmas Cake
We’ve had a lot of requests for the Christmas Cake recipe Jackie French described during her Good Tucker segment while I was filling-in for Chris Smith on radio 2GB and MTR. So here it is: (Yes, the ingredients are expensive, but trust me- this cake is better than caviar and probably better than any food [...]
Home-made window cleaning solution
One thing I have found during my current stint of co-hosting the Sunday Home Improvements show with Simon Stevenson and 2GB and MTR is that some of the best remedies for cleaning and problem fixing aren’t branded products you buy in the supermarket or hardware store, but simply made remedies. One in particular that has [...]
Moving Pictures – 30 years on
For most who remember Moving Pictures, it will be through the song, What About Me?, and possibly the album from which it came, Days of Innocence. Well, to mark the 30th anniversary of the release of that great album which was triple-platinum in the early 80s, the group has reformed for a limited number of [...]
Water for Elephants Sydney premiere
As far as red-carpet movie premiere’s in Sydney, this is by far the most biggest I’ve been too in terms of the number of fans who turned out and the shear length of the carpet at 300 metres. That doesn’t mean it was the classiest movie premiere I’ve been too but that isn’t a reflection [...]
Meeting Michael Bublé
Michael Bublé performed three concerts in Sydney in February as part of his 2011 Australian tour. We were lucky enough not only to see the concert on Feburary 14, but also to briefly meet Buble backstage. His reputation as a personable larrikin was something he lived up to both on and off the stage. We [...]
North Queensland and Nature
The resilience of Australians has been so well documented in the aftermath of the Queensland floods, however the floods have also brought into focus another character attribute; geographical ignorance. I am lucky enough to be spending the weekend at Palm Cove, just outside Cairns, and the tourism industry is really doing it tough here, in [...]
Truly Australian cars
When it comes to truly Australian cars, there seems to be only one, the Lightburn Zeta! Now Holden and Ford fans are sure to disagree as the two brands have developed loyal and passionate followers for the models from these manufacturers that are designed for the Australian market and made in Australia. But when it [...]
Four Days in San Francisco
San Francisco has the now dated reputation of being the city of ‘free love, of ‘flower power’ and of alternative lifestyle. As an Australian visiting for the first time it is these ideologies from the 1960s and images of cable cars, the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz that filled my expectations. To most Americans, particularly [...]
A first look at the Formula 1 2010 game
Formula 1 2010 is just out and here are my thoughts on my first three hours of playing the game. The release of a new and officially sanctioned Formula 1 game was something I looked forward to with great anticipation, but also with a little trepidation because it was the first time that I made [...]
