A truly picturesque open day at New Zealand’s most beautiful university campus today, as endorsed by Baxter.

Kicking off another season with the Dunedin City Royals

10 months to go on my Marsden-funded project into the public law dimension of economic regulation, and I now have an draft introduction and a draft first chapter for my proposed book!! I am excited and relieved in equal measure.

Just 8 chapters left to write before the funding runs out...

The students in my LAWS 101 class seem to get younger every year…

Life of a football parent in sunny Dunedin

I don’t know where this kid gets his incredible sense of style from - definitely not from me!

Finally biting the bullet today and starting to write the draft of what I hope to be a valuable contribution to regulatory theory and public law scholarship.

Shout out to David Seymour and the Ministry for Regulation for making me work over the summer holidays. There really should be some sort of regulation against January submission dates…

Happy to report that 2024 is officially a success because this draft paper is finally finished with 51 hours to spare.

From our family to yours, Merry Christmas.

There’s a cloud the full length of these isles just playing chance with the sun…

“What do academics even do over the summer?”

We go on holiday … and take our work with us
