Thanks for reading, watching or listening to the Burning Archive.
Writer. I have written essays, fiction, history, poetry and more government reports than I care to remember
Historian. I have a PhD in history, taught at Australian National University, and have studied history my whole life.
Ex-Government official. I worked for 33 years as public servant, in fields as diverse as education, health, alcohol and drugs, IVF and technology policy
This combination of experiences can help you see the real world more clearly with some quality history.
Whether you have read me at substack or Pearls and Irritations, watched a YouTube video or listened to the podcast, I thank you for hearing my voice.
If you would like me to continue producing quality content on issues of importance to you, and want to just buy me a coffee now and then, please do so here.
Thanks for your support
