About Peter Boyer:
I’m Peter Boyer and I live in Tasmania. This site started out as an archive for my weekly column for Tasmania’s Mercury newspaper along with some talks I’ve given, but it’s also for anyone who shares my concerns. You can comment at the end of each article. Or if you have an article of your own that you’d like to see posted here, please email it to me. My regular weekly post is each Tuesday at 5.00 pm Eastern Australian time.
