Hello. I just finished reading the most beautiful novel. The Vaster Wilds by Lauren Groff. I can’t stop thinking about it. As you can see.
21/01/2026
It was a privilege and the best musical education on earth to perform with the Oils for the Makarrata and Resist tours with my dear mate . I stood next to Rob every night feeling the intensity and power of his energy flying off him as he drove his once-in-a-lifetime band forward. I’ve never experienced anything like the Oils’ synergy and never will again. And as a songwriter Rob was an idol - no-one else has captured and told the Australian colonial story as well, as thoughtfully and as truthfully as him with such chest-ripping musicality.
His wicked sense of humour and indefatigable curiosity about other people made me, and so many other Australian musicians, feel listened to and respected and made him the fearless activist that he was. What an incredible, deeply kind, intelligent and emotionally dexterous person. My love goes to his Oils and his beautiful family, to whom he was so utterly devoted.
It won’t be the same without you, Uncle Rob. X
Thank you to everyone who came to a gig over the last two months for showing up for people who are being disproportionately afflicted by the housing crisis. The To Survive Tour raised $55,000 for 15 grassroots housing support organisations working around the country against rapidly increasing demand. Australia is a ridiculously rich country and to have so many people suffering, and to see so little meaningful action to ease that suffering from the people who have the power to do so, is unforgivable.
But the amazing people I met and stories of resilience and kindness I heard during this last six weeks have been the counterweight to my growing anger about the lack of government action.
We need to pressure the people we elected to do more.
