Rubbo is presently launching an educational product which stems from his love of storytelling; both his fiction and documentary work being rich in story. Spin me stories is a hand held device which by whirring a number of wands in front of young players, invites players to grab one, and prompted by an image at the end of the wand, begin to tell an improvised story. Another spin and the story changes direction depending on the image captured by the next player. Rubbo hopes to manufacture Spin me Stories ethically. It will be made in Australia. It will employ refugees and Aboriginal workers who will become shareholders in the company and use the spinners they make to improve their language skills

Famous quotes containing the words spin and/or stories:
“In tragic life, God wot,
No villain need be! Passions spin the plot:
We are betrayed by what is false within.”
—George Meredith (1828–1909)
“Wags try to invent new stories to tell about the legislature, and end by telling the old one about the senator who explained his unaccustomed possession of a large roll of bills by saying that someone pushed it over the transom while he slept. The expression “It came over the transom,” to explain any unusual good fortune, is part of local folklore.”
—For the State of Montana, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
