Hi, I'm Nathan — the person behind Morning Post.
I started this newsletter early in 2026 with one mission: to create the best possible morning read for older Australians. I didn't really grasp at the time what it would become, or quite how bombarded my inbox would get — but golly gosh, what a ride it's been.
I run it around a family and a mortgage, and the whole ambition is honest and unglamorous: to make this good enough, and sustainable enough, that I get to keep doing it for you for years to come. That's why I read every reply, take every complaint to heart, and keep tinkering away to make it better.
I like to be transparent with readers — a rare thing in media these days — so here's a bit more about me, work and life both.
I grew up in the western suburbs of Sydney and moved away at twenty. I never went to uni; I've always been more of a self-starter who learns by doing. Through my twenties I started a string of businesses — a few did well, most went nowhere, and I learned something from every one of them.
Now I'm in my thirties, married with two kids and a Cavoodle. Every morning starts the same way: first I make sure Morning Post goes out, then the kids are up and we wander down the street to our local café for a caffeine fix and a yarn with friends.
If you're curious about my work history, you can connect with me on LinkedIn.
As editor and founder of this rag, I feel responsible for what Morning Post sends out each morning — and, perhaps more importantly, what it doesn't. Two promises on that front:
First, we'll never take a cent of sponsorship from a political party, a gambling company or a crypto outfit.
Second, Morning Post has to be genuinely useful to earn its place in your inbox each day. My pledge is simple: to keep listening to your feedback, and to keep making it so.
And if Morning Post has become part of your morning and you'd like to help keep it going, the best way is right here: support Morning Post.
