‘Each time someone buys a copy of this book, Fred Nile has a cry wank.’

Catherine Deveny, writer and comedian

‘I first met Fiona when I was leader of the Opposition in the ACT Legislative Assembly and later as chief minister. It was her fault that as a Liberal leader, my photo was on the front page of the Canberra Times opening a brothel on World AIDS Day! Over the years Fiona has become a trusted friend. Her advocacy was fundamental to the ACT legalising X-rated videos and legalising brothels, as well as ensuring that sex workers operated in a safe and regulated environment. This book is a great read and unlike any other political memoir.’

Kate Carnell, Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman

‘Fiona Patten is not your usual calculating, synthetic politician. Her racy book about how she got to the top recounts many intriguing stories along the way. Against the odds she’s achieved real and meaningful changes to Australian drug policy. I think she’s a brave person to have written this.’

Alex Wodak AM, President, Australian Drug Law Reform Foundation

‘Fiona Patten is a true original. She saw a need and filled it: to create space, and a political party, that honours Eros as a fundamental human right and need.’
