"Everyone is a reactionary about subjects he understands." (Robert Conquest)
About me
I have a PhD in history from the University of Melbourne. I have been a gay rights activist and journalist for many years. I live in the Melbourne suburb of St Kilda, I am a member of the Australian Labor Party and I support the Melbourne Football Club.
My full biography and a variety of other things can be seen at my website. If you share my bizarre obsession with election statistics, you can visit my online archive, Psephos: Adam Carr's Electoral Archive.
