When not being distracted by running bulls, pychodelic drugs, -9 degree temperatures or warm sunny days at the beach, I still have a few habits of serious life.

1. Investments — I have a couple of houses and manage a small investment company, which includes syndicates of some other small-time investors. This gives me a meagre passive income.

2. Economics — Once upon a time I used to be an economist. Occasionally I still am. I am an Adjunct Scholar with the Centre for Independent Studies (CIS), publish semi-regularly with the CIS & Institute for Public Affairs and have also written occasionally for newspapers. I have taught economics previously at the University of Queensland (1999 & 2007) and Camabodia’s Maharishi Vedic University (2006). I’m still flirting with the idea of finishing my PhD.

3. Politics — I am founder and Vice-President of the Liberal Democratic Party (now Liberty & Democracy Party) and have stood for them three times (2001 ACT, 2004 ACT, 2007 Federal). I am also the Director of the Australian Libertarian Society.

4. Social eutrepreneurship — In 2007 I set up a small non-profit organisation (Human Capital Project) which supplies finance so that poor Cambodian students can go to university. When they graduate they pay back a percentage of their income, which is used to finance future students.
