Christine Wallace

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christine Wallace (born 1960) is an Australian political journalist and biographer.

During the 1990s Wallace's articles in the The Australian Financial Review were very critical of Dr John Hewson, then leader of the opposition Liberal Party and whose radical right-wing programme, "Fightback", anticipated the political agenda of the Howard Government. Her biography of Hewson and her influence contributed to his political demise. Later she broke the story that sparked the resignation of Liberal Party leader Alexander Downer, allowing John Howard to regain the post and later become Prime Minister.

Wallace is currently a regular contributor to The Weekend Australian Magazine and was the proprietor of the Das Kapital bar in the working class Canberra suburb of Narrabundah, which she sold in 2005 and continues to operate.
