This is my email to the major energy company who today tried for the 3rd time to book me for an unpaid gig, despite me having already politely told them (twice) that I charge author appearance fees.
Artists are professionals. Pay us or don't ask us to work.

This is $170 of groceries in Australia in 2023. No wonder I feel a sense of dread every time I set foot in a supermarket.
Hope those Reserve Bank dudes enjoyed their $25,000 dinner tho!

I had a really bad day today. Like bottom 10 worst days of my life bad. Someone was horrifically cruel and abusive to me and it nearly broke me. I felt shit & dead inside all day. BUT. I'm 15 days sober & I'm not gonna break that for this. I'll recover, get smarter. Onwards. 💪

This clip of Taylor Hawkins deserves to be remembered. He has a drum battle w/ Alanis Morissette & leads a giant crowd in a chant of WE WILL ROCK YOU. His charisma, his cheeky larrikin grin, his cocky shirtless glory: it fills me with joy. This is what rock and roll is. Vale. 🤘

My beloved nephew & godson Nathan passed away today. I'm heartbroken. He was the most incredible, upbeat kid despite 18 yrs fighting for life. I'm so glad we got to celebrate his 18th bday with a drink. He was OK for an Essendon supporter.
Rest peacefully bud: you've earned it.

Just when you think someone can't be more of a fuckwit, that deadshit Pete Evans goes and posts this.
This stupid, reckless bullshit will endanger lives & jeopardise the management of the outbreak.
How dense do you have to be to think *masks* are part of a conspiracy?!

I oppose censorship in all its forms and am furious that a Sydney council has banned library books containing same-sex parents.
Australia does not ban books - we don't tolerate that crap here. I hope this will be overturned.
Fuck moral panic. Fuck puritans. Fuck censorship. 🖕

This year I've had both a big mining company & a big law firm try to book me as a guest speaker. When I said I'm an artist & I work for a fee, the mining company - get this - CRIED POOR. The law firm never even replied to me.
Artists are professionals. Pay us for work or GTFO.

G'day. Turns out the thing the doctor cut out of my neck the other day was in fact cancer. Did not see that coming at my age. Seems he cut it all out so I should be fine. 🤞
But this is my PSA: go get your moles checked. Yes, you. Skin cancer can happen even if you're young.
