Climbing aboard "The Borg's" charter plane during the 2009 Queensland elections.

Well it’s a soul-wrenching process but here I am on the internet.

This website will eventually be the hallowed ground where I spew my views and thoughts, my feelings and my published work.

I’m a daily reporter on the Sunshine Coast, music columnist and coal industry freelance writer (more here).

The photo above is this guy right here climbing aboard the Clive Palmer-funded charter plane of then-LNP Opposition Leader Lawrence Springborg during his unsuccessful tilt at the 2009 Queensland election.(story)

It was a short trip from Airlie Beach to my newsroom in Mackay but there’s nothing like being sucked into the vortex of a campaign trail.

From this crowded terrace, I hope to join the public debate on issues of trivial gossip, to multi-national mining deals and media happenings.

So let’s just see how this thing pans out, shall we?

Talk soon.
