Adam Craig is a barrister. He had libertarian instincts as a teenager but joined the ALP as a student doing blue-collar work. After graduating he worked as a public servant, mainly at the ATO (including secondments at Treasury and Prime Minister and Cabinet). In observing the workings of government and the tax system, Adam became increasingly convinced that government had no answers and was wasteful. He left the public service for a life of independence at the Bar and has reembraced libertarianism.
