Imre Salusinszky

Imre Salusinszky (born 1955) is an Australian journalist, political adviser and English literature academic[1] who is media adviser to Australian Government Minister for Communications, Urban Infrastructure, Cities and the Arts, Paul Fletcher.[2]

Background and career

Born in Budapest, Salusinszky was educated at Melbourne High School, the University of Melbourne, and the University of Oxford.[3] He lectured at Yale University and at the University of Melbourne,[4] prior to taking up tenure as an associate professor in the English Department at the University of Newcastle. He started writing for The Australian Financial Review in 1994, and featured for several years on the Coodabeen Champions, on ABC Radio, as well as on Life Matters.[3]

He was an editorial advisor for Quadrant, a political reporter and columnist for The Australian, and wrote for the Sydney Morning Herald and Sun-Herald. In 2006, he was appointed Chairman of the Literature Board of the Australia Council for a three-year term, amid criticism of right-wing political bias from former Australia Council Chair, Hilary McPhee.[5] Salusinszky also served as media adviser for former Premier of New South Wales, Mike Baird.

In 2019 Salusinsky wrote a book, The Hilton Bombing: Evan Pederick and the Ananda Marga, which denied the existence of evidence of a conspiracy and provided evidence that Pederick was responsible for the Sydney Hilton Bombing.[6] It was shortlisted for the 2020 Nib Literary Award.[7]
