duffywrites is Michael Duffy.

I am a writer and editor with more than 20 years’ experience of working with Aboriginal people.

I’ve done editing and writing, media liaison and information campaign planning in environment, cultural heritage and land rights, cross-cultural communications, employment, education, community development and health.

And my work in State and Federal politics means I understand how government works.

In Northern Australia, I think it’s important to have much better communication across the cultural divides.

I also want to promote effective communication within mainstream society.

Plain English is my starting point.
