 PETER KENNEDY

Award winning political journalist Peter has worked for The West Australian, The Sydney Morning Herald, as Chief of Staff at the Canberra Press Gallery and as Press Secretary to Deputy Premier Mal Bryce. He also presented the Drive Program and the Morning Program on ABC Radio before joining the ABC television team as political correspondent in 2000. His face and voice are both very familiar to, and beloved and trusted by Perth; Peter says he loved both roles but they were equally terrifying to him when he first embarked upon them. Peter tells us about growing up in Perth in the 1950s and about how his fascination with politics manifested in a career in journalism in the 1970s.
