Nic was the ABC's Indochina Correspondent, based in Bangkok, when he was involved in a car crash leaving him severely injured. Slowly, eventually, Nic 'recovered', tutoring in Journalism and becoming a columnist with the Canberra Times. During this period he also wrote three acclaimed political books (Kevin Rudd - an unauthorized political biography; What Goes Up - the 2007 election; and Rudd's Way, 2007 - 2010). More importantly, he joined the Board of the National Brain Injury Foundation in 2011, becoming President in 2013 and a Board Member of Brain Injury Australia. He separately became a Board Member of the House With No Steps (now Aruma) in 2013. In 2015 Nic became a Press Fellow at Wolfson College Cambridge before being awarded a Churchill Fellowship to research recovery after brain injury in 2016. Today he's creating abilitynews.org, an electronic information service to 'connect, inform and empower' people with disability.
