Attempting to act
as a voice for voiceless nonhumans and to
chuck in the odd rant on republicanism and
other less serious matters.

Animal
Liberation and the RSPCA
... As an Animal
Liberationist I see the RSPCA as on
the right track – but just a bit
further back...
Y Fish?
Scientific evidence shows
that fish feel stress and pain in the
same way as other animals such as
birds. It may not be absolutely
proved that angling hurts fish (and
the angling groups are pushing that
line) but the mere fact that they may
should be enough to stop the
so-called sport now. The onus of
proof is definitely on the anglers to
prove that what they do cannot hurt
the fish...

G’day
It’s nice to see you here (yep
– that’s my beady little eye looking
through your webcam ;-)
I’m a maturing (finally) Aussie
who’s now retired from paid employment
(carefully timed to mesh with the stock market slide
- maybe I’ll be working again soon).
Veganism
My main passion these days is trying to
move the world’s population (or at least most of
them) away from their animal based diet. Global
warming is just the latest in a long list of reasons
why we should all be moving toward a plant-based
diet. See more on my Veganism pages.
Genealogy
I’ve had a web presence for many
years and have ‘met’ many new cousins
simply by having my minimal genealogical info online.
Please have a look – if you’re related send
me an email. I’m more than happy to share what
info I have, add what I can from you and be corrected
where I’m wrong. See my Genealogy pages for
information about my father's family (O'Shaughnessy)
and my mother's (Browne).
Republicanism
I’m also a passionate republican.
The monarchy is an anachronism even in its home (the
UK) but is even more so here. The issue will come to
the fore again very soon - in the meantime my old ‘Republic Oz’ pages are
here.
The Saints
Each Autumn I get filled with optimism
regarding the fortunes of the St Kilda AFL club
during the upcoming football season. Nearly every
August (or even earlier) I’m back to Earth
– that’s the nature of the Saints.
Birds
Something I get great pleasure from is
observing the local birds. Some of my pics and
stories are on my Bird Watching page.
About Me
Also – a little about me in case you think you may have
had the dubious pleasure of going to school with me
or working with me in various offices around the
country.

you) please click here.
So - thanks for coming... leave your
money on the fridge.
