In that role, he keenly promoted Australian literature—especially Australian poetry.
Malcolm has written a number of English textbooks, the most recent, English Toolkit Ed 2: The Nuts and Bolts of English Grammar, being a section winner in the 2016 Australian Educational Publishing Awards. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, he worked with his daughter to program an interactive version of that grammar text, which can be found at https://englishtoolkit.xyz/.
The downing of MH17 on 17 July 2014 was a life-changing event for Malcolm and Liz, with the loss of Liz’s sister Jill and brother-in-law Roger. The two couples had just finished a river cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam followed by two delightful days in Bruges, when they went separate ways—Malcolm and Liz to Paris and Jill and Roger to board the ill-fated flight home from Amsterdam. In wrestling with their loss, Malcolm found solace in writing poetry. In the years that followed, he also turned to poetry to express his joy at being a grandfather and to reflect on current issues.
Malcolm and Liz now live on the Sunshine Coast, near their son and his family.ver menos
