Edit Profile
Career
He lectured at Yale University in the United States of America and at the University of Melbourne, prior to taking up tenure as an associate professor in the English Department at the University of Newcastle. He started writing for The Australian Financial Review in 1994, and featured for several years on the Coodabeen Champions, on American Broadcasting Company Radio, as well as on Life Matters. He was an editorial advisor for Quadrant, a conservative literary and cultural journal, and is currently a political reporter and columnist for The Australian, a conservative newspaper.
In 2006, he was appointed Chairman of the Literature Board of the Australia Council for a three-year term, amid criticism of right-wing political bias from former Australia Council Chair, Hilary McPhee.
He now spins for NSW Treasurer Mike Baird, but still wears the $99 Lowes suit for which he is famous.
