'Sheer Madness: Sex, Lies and Politics explodes off the page with honesty and humour.

'Jan Murray - known to millions of Australians as the Cabinet Minister's wife who rocked the nation with her cheeky 60 Minutes revelation of having sex on his desk - now goes hell-for-leather to tell her story.

'A deaf-eared kid from a working-class family who left school at fourteen, Jan married her teenage heart-throb and had five children by the age of twenty eight. She discovered feminism in her thirties, studied for a university degree, became a Canberra political insider, ran a successful PR company, and mixed it with princes, presidents and pop stars before, devastatingly, hitting the wall.

'Hers is a story that packs a mighty punch; sometimes biting and often enlightening but always entertaining!'
