Author Bio

Bret Christian has been a newsman all his working life, beginning his career on the Perth Daily News, and working in Melbourne and Sydney before returning to Perth to start his own suburban Post Newspapers group at the age of twenty-eight.

His search for answers led him to unearth many extraordinary injustices, some of which he helped put right.
