I've got more than 20 years' experience in the communication sector, as a senior executive, consultant, regulator and board member in the public and private sectors both here and overseas.

I hold a PhD and Masters of Economics from the Australian National University and a Bachelor of Agricultural Economics from the University of New England.

Look out for my upcoming new blog.

Don't cringe, but I love economics!
