My beloved Dad resting in state. I did everything I could to help him, except help him die, because the law didn’t allow it, and he wouldn’t let me go to jail even though I was prepared to for love, just like Kylie Truswell-Mobbs. Dad loved me as much as I loved him, and it […]

We have written repeatedly and at length about the injustice handed down to Paul Tonkin, a good honest man who had served his community and its people faithfully for all his life, and then got publicly shamed and disgraced by the NSW harness racing authorities for an unintentional breach of the rules caused by cross […]
It’s news to me that jockey Chris Whiteley had married fellow rider Wanderon D’Avila, or that he had adopted the Brazilian bred hoop’s last name. But I am glad that Australia allows people who want to pledge their life long commitment to each other to fulfill their dreams. I am all for it. Let love […]
