Bernard Keane

Bernard Keane is an Australian journalist for Crikey.[1] He has been Crikey's political correspondent since 2008.

He is also the author of several books dealing with politics and related issues, including Surveillance (2015),[2] War On The Internet,[3][4] and A Short History Of Stupid (with Helen Razer).[5]

Prior to his work with Crikey, Keane studied history at the University of Sydney, and then worked as a public servant and a speechwriter in transport and communications. In doing so he acted unceasingly to achieve his childhood ambition of bringing very fast train travel to the Australian people, without success.[6]
