A powerful story of resilience, leadership and staying true to yourself.
Annastacia Palaszczuk made history when she became the first woman to win the premiership of Queensland from opposition. She made history again when she became the first female premier in the nation to secure three consecutive terms. But her journey to the top was anything but easy.
She defied every stereotype of a political leader - her name was hard to pronounce, she came from Brisbane's hard-scrabble suburbs, she lacked 'polish', she wasn't a man.
Yet, against the odds, she rose to become Australia's longest-serving female premier, steering Queensland through monumental challenges like the global COVID-19 pandemic, the devastating 2022 floods, and the triumphant bid to host the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.
In Annastacia Palaszczuk: The Politics of Being Me, Annastacia shares her remarkable story with warmth and honesty. She takes readers behind the scenes of her political triumphs and personal struggles, from the relentless scrutiny of public life to her deeply personal battle with IVF. Through it all, she reflects on the sacrifices, resilience and unwavering sense of purpose it takes to lead while staying true to yourself.
It's a story for anyone who's ever been told they couldn't - and proved everyone wrong.
