Adelaide-based founder and operator; author of the April 2026 Australian AI Dividend policy brief proposing an AI-provider levy and citizen dividend.
Within its opening years, the Australian AI Dividend pays for a mid-tier AI subscription outright for every Australian adult. At maturity, it channels approximately A$4 billion per month to Australian households. The mechanism: charge AI companies for the commercial supply of AI services to Australians, measured by the energy footprint of that supply.
