Dr David Wakeham

@billshortenmp Congratulations from Dr David A. Wakeham DMus (Dunelm)

Today I announced my resignation from politics and I’m excited to share I will be the Vice Chancellor at the University of Canberra, starting in 2025. It’s been an honour to serve and I’ll continue to be a member of the Albanese Government and Cabinet until February.

I promise, I twirled as slowly as I could. The first time I’ve been here since becoming an orphan. Luckily my parents voices linger in the atmosphere.

On stressful days, take a breath and look up. It’s amazing what we walk past. Thanks PA for the adventure.

@Classicbritcom How fortunate I was to work with Roberta on The Bill. May her memory be a blessing.

Roberta Taylor (26 February 1948 – 6 July 2024) R.I.P

When faced with choice, the decision is yours.

My debut professional contract was here. Eve Queller conducted a fine cast of Australian Stars.What an amazing journey it’s been do far.

When friends remind me what I’m missing . Picture perfect start to a day of writing and learning.

When going back actually brings you forward.

Taking time out to enjoy Mother Nature.

In the harbor, in the island, in the Spanish Seas, Are the tiny white houses and the orange trees, And day-long, night-long, the cool and pleasant breeze Of the steady Trade Winds Blowing

My amazing daughter graduated @durham_uni with a BSc (Hons) in mathematics this week. 3 years 3 months ago she had a 9 hour spinal surgery for #scoliosis , then smashed her A levels and now this. Imogen is the most resilient, determined and toughest girl I know. I’m so proud
