Thang Ngo
Thang Ngo (@thangngo) was a Fairfield Councillor (1999-2008). He successfully lobbied for the NSW Parliamentary Inquiry into Cabramatta in 2000 that helped make the suburb a safer place. He authored a 2002 Churchill Trust Fellowship report on strategies to improve the relationship between NSW Police and ethnic communities.
These days he’s works in media by day. Thang is currently ALC (Audio and Language Content) Strategy and Planning Manager at SBS. By night he’s a food writer (Feast Magazine, Everyday Eats) and publishes one of Australia’s most popular food blogs, http://www.noodlies.com. He’s a one time guest judge on Junior MasterChef, but you’re more likely to hear him muse about food on ABC and commercial radio.

Michael S says:
"A teacher at Geelong Grammar had criticised her for using words that were too long, which had left her confused and had made her doubt her ability to write essays.
