Speaker: Brian BurkeFormer Premier/ Author Brian Thomas Burke is a former Labor Premier of Western Australia (1983 – 1988) and Australian Ambassador to Ireland and the Holy See (1988 -1991). Some years after leaving office, Burke was charged with misusing his travelling allowance and was sent to prison. As soon as he learned of the “double dipping”, all allowances were repaid in full. Burke returned from Ireland, where he was Australian Ambassador, to defend his reputation at the royal commission. His jailing had a devastating impact on his life and on his family, particularly his wife, Sue, who he met at school and to whom he has been married for more than 50 years. They have six children and 19 grandchildren. Burke recently published his autobiography, A Tumultuous Life, which deals in detail with his colourful and often controversial life and career. Brian Burke is happy to speak about his book and its many subjects of interest, or on historic and current matters of political interest, and about the politicians involved. Brian Burke is regarded as an excellent speaker, always prepared to address difficult subjects frankly and without fear.
