Urban Wronski is an Australian free-lance writer whose work appears regularly in The Independent Australia, The Tasmanian Times and also in The Australian Independent Media Network. He has also been published in Guardian Australia. An acute observer and analyst Urban continues to advocate for a just, tolerant and compassionate society. The Urban Wronski voice is one of the most distinctive in Australian political writing: sardonic, erudite, morally engaged but never preachy, and animated by a barely suppressed outrage that is kept in check — and made far more effective — by wit, irony and a very precise control of tone. The persona is that of a man who has seen through the machinery of power and chooses to describe it with forensic clarity rather than mere fury. The anger is always there, but it does the work of fuel rather than exhaust.
