Is this the Geoff Leonard? Check the board members at the bottom of the page.

Did he write a PhD? Surely not.

I cant find out anything more about this guy on the Board, but i've got a feeling it's not our friend.

Anyway, raised my eyebrow nonetheless.

People named Geoffrey Leonard are highly successfull in academia. The original Geoff Leonard has a b.arts at u.syd, can't remember if he has higher qualifications.

You can probably contact him at geoff.leonard@newcastle.edu.au

If I cbf, I'm tempted to send him an email praising his work on "punished for love" and asking him how I might get access to more literature on man-boy relations.

To Dr Leonard

I am writing to you as an admirer of your work advocating reform of age of consent law. Age of consent, and the suppression of free speech surrounding this iissue is a particular concern of mine.
I first became aware of your account when a friend passed on to me a copy of your work "punished for love". I was dismayed at your account of injustice at the hands of the NSW judicial system, and the lack of consideration given in our legal system to the developmental benefits possible through loving relationships between men of all ages.
The hypocrisy of current age of consent laws is plainly evident in the lowering of the NSW age of consent laws to 16, just a few short years after your conviction for the very same offence. It should be clear to all free thinking individuals that the age of consent laws are completely arbitrary and unjust.

I am disheartened to see the afp has closed down your website. I would very much like to have read your essays and dissertations. Is there any way I could possibly get access to the work formerly hosted on your website?

Thank you for your time, I would like very much to be able to correspond with you further

Yours,
Graney

How's that for a draft? I might email g.leonard at swinburn too.

Christmas riches, minus the main ingredient

"No one is too poor to spend Christmas with us," said Bill Crews ("Lunch for 10,000 who don't get trimmings", Herald, December 26.) But there would be a great many who are too rich.
While not wanting to minimise hunger at Christmas time, I suggest that a more prevalent problem is loneliness. And being lonely and without family is not something that is confined to the very poor.
After attending a service at St Andrew's Cathedral, and with the sound of the choir still ringing in my ears, I went home to prepare an excellent meal, to be washed down with a good wine, which I ate and drank in a well and appropriately decorated dining room, but alone.
It is true that the pain was mitigated by the wonderful choir of King's College, Cambridge, prerecorded the evening before. And all the delights were present bar the vital one, and that was somebody with which to share. I suggest that I was not Robinson Crusoe.

Geoff Leonard, all is not lost (Letters, December 27). You have 363 days to rectify your loneliness by next Christmas. Work with me here. Each time you have contact with anyone, smile, engage in eye contact and really listen to what they have to say, banal or otherwise. Bet you'll have more Christmas invitations than you can handle in 2004. If not, you can always come to our Christmas celebration.

Why not just use the ordinary laptop or the slightly smaller notebook.
I have cataracts and am finding increasingly difficult to read print, albeit the operation is still some time off.
But I can read stuff on my notebook with no problems whatsoever. If the print is too small, I can just blow it up.

But I gather from the material above that ebooks cannot be read on these devices. I am puzzled.

Congratulations on the ABC screening this show, and congratulations on its doing so instead of the show advertised on the SMH TV guide about the fate of the life savings of thousands of retirees. Worthy though it may have been, I would not have watched it.
It is a thought that both Senator Alston and the commercial sex industry are coming from the same place, religous guilt and oppression. it is well known that the good Senator has had a Jesuit education. It is an interesting thought about hypocrisy to note that Senator Harridine has nine children. Were they brought by the stork?
It is a disturbing thought that the sex industry proposes (for profit) to join in the paedophile witch hunt. Well, I guess if you get the guilt into the child early enough, you get a customer for your x rated flicks when he (or she?) grows up. Senator Alston would no doubt be suggesting the age of seven.

It is with amazement that year after year I note the performance of James Ruse Agricultural High. It is turning out what promises to be the most academically brilliant farming community in the world. I guess it's coaching college an hour before school, school, two hours of coaching college after school, and a clear homework run until midnight. But can any of them milk a cow? Or for that matter do anything at all except swot?

I was in St Andrew's Cathedral on Friday night and for two services on Sunday. I find Kelly Burke's accounts (Herald, March 10, 11) to be fair and accurate.
The greatest danger that the Anglican Church and perhaps the Christian church as a whole faces in the world today is Dean Jensen and the gang of fanatical religious predators of which he is the effective head. And while in the cathedral I felt a sense of the place being grasped by the tentacles of evil.
In the end he will go, but not before enormous damage has been done and not least of all to people who maybe have not entered a Christian church in their lives. I mean, of course, to gays and to others caught up in their purge of "adultery" and sexual "misbehaviour". This is not a loving religion but a religion of cruel, literal Old Testament law.

Further Update
On 5 September 2008, following a trial in which he defended himself unrepresented, Mr Leonard was sentenced by Judge Berman SC to 6 months imprisonment on the offence of using the internet to publish child abuse material. This is to be served concurrently with a sentence of one year (9 months non-parole) for possession of 276 child pornography images found (deleted) on his computer when it was seized by the police, a charge to which he had pleaded guilty.
