What would you do differently from what you do now?
I would marry John Mayer and live a life of luxury and excess.
Who inspires you and why?
Anyone who owns a small business and runs it with integrity, compassion and ambition.
What would you do to make a difference in the world?
I would end the war in Palestine, abolish the gender pay gap, ensure billionaires are taxed accurately, make soft plastics illegal, and eliminate the alarming rate of male violence in Australia.
Favourite holiday destination and why?
Finland – I was lucky enough to see the Northern Lights this year and I would go back in a heartbeat. It’s a remarkable country, unlike anywhere I’ve ever been. I loved the opportunity to slow down, switch off and experience a truly unique location.
When friends come to town, what attraction would you take them to, and why?
I am a big foodie, so my love for Brisbane restaurants knows no bounds. I would head to Rogue Bar and Bistro for an incredible degustation experience, Honto for elevated Japanese, Bianca for an Italian long lunch, Bosco for smoky shared goodness, or down to Felons at Howard Smith Wharves for relaxed vibes and the best view in Brisbane.
