Grateful to Policing Insight for publishing my piece on NSW Police mental health reform.

The core question is a simple one: NSW piloted a co-responder mental health program (PACER) in 2018, the trial outcomes are strong, and eight years later it still operates in only 12 of 57 area commands. Why?

The piece looks at what completing PACER would take, how NSW compares with Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, the ACT and international models, and where the broader operational reforms sit alongside it.

LICENCE TO OPERATE: WHAT WOULD IT REALLY MEAN TO BE A 007 TODAY?

I have been quietly fascinated by the world of intelligence and espionage for most of my life. It started, as it does for many, with James Bond 007.

The films were never the whole of it, though. What drew me in, even as a child, was the sense that something more serious was sitting underneath the fiction.

This week, Policing Insight published a personal piece I wrote on what it would actually mean to be '007' in 2026, a world Ian Fleming could not have imagined, where the threat landscape has shifted entirely, AI is reshaping tradecraft, and the architecture of legitimacy matters as much as the work itself.

Yes, that photo is me.

CHANGING WHO OWNS HOUSES, WILL NOT FIX HOW FAST WE BUILD THEM

What if we're asking the wrong question about Australia's housing crisis?

We keep reforming who can own a home. We have not solved why we cannot build enough of them, or shelter the people who have a right to one.

In my new Pursuit piece, I argue housing policy must confront two things, how we build, and who we fail when we don't.

My first article on the 5th May for Pursuit at the University of Melbourne is truly an honour. I would love for you to read it!

WE'VE FORGOTTEN HOW TO BUILD HOUSES

Australia is not short of workers. Not short of demand. Not short of political attention.

We have just forgotten how to build houses.

Dwellings completed per hour worked have fallen 53 per cent since the mid-1990s. Across the rest of the economy, productivity rose 49 per cent over the same period. Had the wider economy declined as sharply as housing construction, average Australian incomes would be around 41 per cent lower than they are today.

This is the structural problem hiding underneath every headline about housing affordability, and the reason we are on track to fall 262,000 homes short of the National Housing Accord target by mid-2029.

The technology to fix this already exists in Australia. The international evidence is settled. What is missing is the policy architecture to scale it.

In University of Melbourne Pursuit, I set out four practical reforms that could change the picture. It was an honour to be invited to contribute.

This lovely lady, Yvonne, has supported and guided me from August 2025 to now, helping me through a truly tough year. She is a special angel.

The tides have very much turned, but you really learn who your tribe is when they stick with you through the mess.

I was happy to share all of my breakthroughs with a broader audience in June 2026, and yes, I am definitely brave and courageous, as per the "sign."

BORDERS WITHOUT LIMITS: HOW INTERPOL CONFRONTS THE INTERTWINED THREATS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND MONEY LAUNDERING

My latest analysis for Policing Insight is out today. The intersection of human trafficking and money laundering is one of the more compelling areas I've worked on, and I'm pleased to share what the data and Interpol's own operational record reveal.

With nearly 50 million people estimated to be in modern slavery, and global money laundering flows reaching up to $2 trillion a year, the connection between human trafficking and financial crime has never been more consequential for international policing.

The piece examines how coordinates responses across 196 member states and where resource gaps, political misuse of tools like the Red Notice, and persistent corruption continue to constrain what it can achieve.

Some lines worth lingering on:
❝These are not parallel problems. Every trafficking network generates proceeds that must be cleaned through the financial system, while every money laundering infrastructure makes cross-border trafficking easier to sustain.❞
❝Documented examples include young women trafficked from Vietnam to China for forced marriage, girls subjected to bride-kidnapping networks across parts of Kyrgyzstan, and victims recruited in Eastern Europe on the pretext of marriage then exploited for s*x or labour in Western Europe.❞
❝Liberterra III safeguarded 4,414 potential victims, detected almost 13,000 irregular migrants, and opened more than 720 new investigations, with operational co-ordination units established in Algeria, El Salvador, Lao PDR and the UK.❞
❝Interpol's mission of connecting law enforcement across borders has never mattered more, yet its capacity to deliver on that mission depends entirely on member states willing to use what it offers.❞
