Excited to launch mulgadc.com with co-founders Jai Gabbard & Stuart Clout. Our mission: help US & allied forces operate effectively in data-dark environments—an increasingly common reality of modern warfare. Building capability for those who defend sovereignty.

Thank you to all my friends in the US Senate. Both Republican and Democrat. It’s been great working with Team USA over the last three years to advance the US-Australia relationship.
We’ve made big progress.
AUKUS is moving forward with strong bipartisan support. Cooperation on critical minerals and critical technologies is deeper than ever.
And our alliance is stronger for it.

Hard to admit Hollywood has become a handmaiden of the CCP. They cooperate with Chinese censors to curate a 100% benevolent view of China for profit. China's co-option of our entertainment industry robs us of the truth about dangers to our society. Time to reverse course.

We're just warming up. Ty
Surprised by the number of Aussie startups that do not have an ESOP plan for employees, from across the spectrum from early to later stage. Odd. It’s almost a prerequisite to have an ESOP plan as a startup, right?!
Speaking with a handful of Aussie founders recently, hiring is the biggest challenge they face; surprisingly customer acquisition and sales are easier in the current cycle!
