He was at times a games developer, a producer, a photographer, and a writer. In 2009, he was fired from Telstra for maintaining the Fake Stephen Conroy Twitter account.

Just quietly, when this appeared was on the news, I was taken by the number of flags, so I quickly counted them: there was actually ten.
Though I didn’t double check my count, since Abbott started talking and I had to reach for the remote.
