My parents were British Protestants, both teachers, who enjoyed traveling. Born in Canada in the late 1950s, I was the third of five children. My Irish father taught in various schools, working across Canada and the United States, building houses as he went. Years later, we moved to Australia, where Dad taught for some years before becoming a candidate in a political party he helped build. Militant unions and hippies eventually overtook the party, and I remember dad saying they were worse than the Germans he fought in WWII as a paratrooper.
While my parents were great in their different ways, they supported the Left. Dad finally saw the light in his mid-sixties, becoming more right-wing for his last three decades, while my English mom supported the Left all her life.
After college, I worked for various newspapers. As a young married man with several children, I started a company in 1986 that is still in operation today. We moved to the US in the ’90s before being offered a contract to work in Queensland. My company went online in 1996, employing Americans to serve American businesses.
Since 1985, when I read Atlas Shrugged, I have fought to reduce government size and support free-market, laissez-faire capitalism. Rob Larrikin is a pen name. According to today’s woke socialists, those who tell the truth are deplorable larrikins.
