Author: Peter Blazey

Peter Blazey was an Australian journalist, author and gay activist.

Born in Melbourne in 1939, Blazey worked for the Australian, the National Times and as a regular columnist for OutRage magazine. He published a number of books, including a political biography of Henry Bolte, the longest-serving Premier of the State of Victoria, and was co-editor of the short fiction anthology, Love Cries. His memoir Screw Loose appeared after his death in 1997.

‘For me Peter exemplified bravado. Bravado in the face of the inexplicable, in the face of angst and in the face of the petty and not so petty injustices of the world. That’s how I will remember him.’
