Sydney Film Festival, twitter reviews 2009
With 2009 being the year I discovered Twitter, I began dabbling in tweet-size reviews from that year's Sydney Film Festival. Only 140 characters per tweet in those days, of course.
"The Cove" justified a blog post unto itself.
#sff "Looking For Eric": Incredibly funny, sad, violent. A Ken Loach comic fantasy? Yep. Unexpected gem, maybe best soccer film ever. 9/10

May Mania: My predictions for the 2019 Cricket World Cup
In 2015 I predicted an Australia v New Zealand final, England missing the quarter-finals, and 32 winners in the 42-game group phase (one match abandoned and I somehow overlooked tipping Afghanistan v Australia).
In 2019, can I do better?

My votes for the 2019 Federal Election
The federal election on May 18 2019 will be the sixteenth in which I have taken part. I have seen nine elections in Shortland (1977, 80, 83, 84, 87, 90, 93, 96, 98), four in Grayndler (2001, 04, 07, 10), one in Watson (2013) and following a boundary change, one in Reid (2016) before this one.
Nationally, I am supporting the emphatic removal of the Liberal/National government led by Scott Morrison. I am supporting the formation of government by the Australian Labor Party with Bill Shorten as Prime Minister.
