Bettina Arndt is a full time feature writer for The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald and a regular guest on ABC radio broadcast nationally. It was sex that made Bettina Arndt famous. But by the 1980s she had enough of a good thing. So she gave up sex - professionally speaking - and moved onto writing and talking about broader social issues particularly the rapidly changing relationships between men and women.
Bettina joined Australian Consolidated Press as a feature writer and produced numerous cover stories for The Bulletin and feature articles for Cleo, Mode and Women's Weekly. She also had her own radio program at 2GB and was a frequent guest on Channel 9's Today program. Bettina also worked as a feature writer for the Fairfax Group where her columns appeared in The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald and for The Australian.
Bettina has also written three books; Private Lives (1985), All About Us (1989) and Taking Sides (1995). She can be seen and heard regularly on ABC Radio and Television. And yes, she keeps on talking - but more about relationships than about sex.
Her ability to speak on both light-hearted and more serious issues accounts for her continuing appeal to a wide range of diverse groups and organisations.
