David Burchell

David Burchell is a senior lecturer in humanities at the University of Western Sydney^[1][2] and a regular columnist for The Australian. He has also contributed articles to the Australian Financial Review and Griffith Review.^[3]

Dr Burchell is the author of several books on Australian politics and the Australian Labor Party, including Western Horizon: Sydney's Heartland and the Future of Australian Politics (Scribe Books, 2003); co-author of The Prince's New Clothes: Why do Australians Dislike Their Politicians? (UNSW Press, 2002); and Labor's Troubled Times (Pluto Press, 1991).^[4]

The columns often focus on the psychology, behaviour and motives of their subjects, as well as the conceit with which the past is often viewed. He generally writes from a conservative perspective and his columns are often disliked by leftists.^[5][6]
