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

1. Economics — Once upon a time I used to be an economist. Occasionally I still am. I current work as a part-time research fellow at the Centre for Independent Studies, and I write occasionally for the Institute for Public Affairs and several newspapers and online news forums. 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.

2. Politics — I am the founder and Director of the Australian Libertarian Society, and the founder and former President of the Liberal Democratic Party.

3. 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.
