I’m enjoying a warm sunny day in Gold Coast – it’s the middle of the Australian ‘winter’ – and there’s a real buzz developing around the conference, which starts tomorrow. As I was leaving my hotel this morning, a workman spotted my J4MB shirt and connected it with the conference, saying he’d been impressed by ‘an amazing young Canadian woman’ interviewed at length on Sky. He meant Karen Straughan, of course, and we’ll post a link to that interview as soon as we can. In the meantime, a new piece by William Collins.
