To begin with, Tristan moderates the progressive blog 'Left Focus'.

see: http://leftfocus.blogspot.com/

Tristan's areas of expertise include Australian and world politics, social theory, education, history, and computer gaming for PC.

He considers himself a liberal, and also a socialist, but has also referred to himself as a left social democrat. He says such - conscious that there was once a time when 'social democracy' and 'socialism' were synonymous.

Furthermore, Tristan is a long-time member of the Australian Labor Party - specifically its Socialist Left wing. He is also involved in the Australian Fabian Society.
