I have just released my first eBook

I could not be happier to announce that I have just released my first eBook. As some of you know, I have been gravitating toward the written word; truly developing Q Magazine into the entity it was always meant to be; spending a king’s ransom on the development and design of three websites; and now being published.

“Respectful Connections: Embracing LGBTIQA+ Through Simple Manners” explores how small acts of kindness and inclusive language can dismantle barriers and foster deeper connections within communities and workplaces.

By encouraging open dialogue around gender identity, representation in media, and the adoption of gender-neutral policies, this book emphasizes the importance of respect in shaping a culture of inclusivity.

Ultimately, it advocates for creating safe spaces where all individuals can thrive, feel valued, and express their true selves.

The eBook covers all the subjects it requires to and really ‘puts down on paper’ the simplicity of understanding a subject that is so close to my heart, it has occupied around 40 years of my life.

    Australia combines Westminster government with preferential voting, unlike countries using first-past-the-post. Governments are formed by parties commanding lower-house majorities, while voters rank candidates and preferences transfer until someone achieves majority support.

  • Behind the Screen:
    Pornography can affect young people’s understanding of intimacy, consent, relationships and gender expectations, particularly after early or unwanted exposure. Because it often presents unrealistic and aggressive portrayals without communication or mutual consent, it may encourage pressure and distorted expectations. Education, open discussion and stronger safeguards can promote respectful, safe and healthy relationships.
