He was involved with the Maoist faction at the university and a supporter of the Communist Party of Australia (Maoist-Leninist). His interest in politics included the arms race and telecommunications of which he was an advocate of free software. He was an active opponent of Zionism, and was associated with a group called Jews Against Zionism and Anti-Semitism (JAZA).
