'Jeff Rich is a writer, historian, podcaster and now retired government official. After completing a PhD in history, he worked as a government official for 33 years. Over the course of his career, he wrote speeches for government leaders, and advised on challenging issues from mental health to violence, from alcohol to fertility, from education to the organisation of government. He also wrote at night and weekends, and is now sharing his writing on politics, government, history and culture.

'He has published three books, Gathering Flowers of the Mind, From the Burning Archive and Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Bureaucrat. He has forgotten how many government briefings he wrote. He lives in Melbourne, Australia.' (Amazon)
