Adelaide-based founder and operator; author of the April 2026 Australian AI Dividend policy brief proposing an AI-provider levy and citizen dividend.
Do nothing. Every dollar of Australian-generated AI surplus flows to foreign shareholders. [...] The Dividend delivers on the ownership commitment through a market mechanism. [...] It charges AI companies for the commercial supply of their services to Australians — assessed against the energy footprint of that supply — and returns the proceeds to the citizens on whose commons the industry draws.AI Verified (Apr 2026)
