Christian Kerr was an Australian conservative political staffer who transitioned into political commentary and journalism. In the early stages of his career, he served as a staffer to several prominent members of the Howard government, including Cabinet Ministers Robert Hill and Amanda Vanstone, as well as former South Australian Premier John Olsen. Following his roles in government, he worked in the private sector as a corporate relations manager for the construction firm Baulderstone Hornibrook.
Kerr was one of the co-founders of the independent online news service Crikey, where he initially gained prominence by writing under the pseudonym "Hillary Bray." His writing on political affairs helped establish Crikey’s reputation for sharp and candid commentary. In 2008, he joined the national newspaper The Australian, part of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp, where he worked as a journalist and columnist.
Throughout his journalism career, Kerr contributed significantly to political discourse in Australia. He was a regular columnist for the Institute of Public Affairs Review, a publication by the Australian conservative think tank Institute of Public Affairs. He also served as a contributing editor for the Australian edition of The Spectator.
In addition to his print work, Kerr was a familiar voice and face across multiple Australian broadcast platforms. He appeared regularly on ABC Radio National’s Late Night Live with Philip Adams, and was a featured commentator on programs such as ABC News Radio, Sky News Australia, and ABC Television’s News Breakfast.
