What are they saying about his new book:Jim Kennedy AO’We need more Keith DeLacys in the Queensland Government.’ - John Roskam;’DeLacy weaves together a tale of family, sport, politics, and business with candour, humanity, and profound insight. Anyone who wants to understand modern Australia must read this important and significant work.’- Gary Johns: ’When he became Treasurer in the Wayne Goss government he knew that Labor had a bad reputation for reckless spending. He set about making sure that he would not repeat the mistakes of other administrations. He succeeded. De Lacy has had a celebrated career after politics as a company director and entrepreneur.- Don Nissen: ’I met Keith DeLacy in the early 1990’s ...

This friendship has grown over the 25 plus years since & remains something that I treasure today.’- Sir Leo Hielscher AC: ’What an achiever. What a friend...

This the history of Queensland, and also of politics, and how one man grew and changed with it.’- Graham Young: ’With a personal trajectory from tobacco, tin mining, sugar, Communism and dirt-floored houses to the glittering glass towers of Brisbane, Keith’s personal story is an inspirational Queensland yarn. It refreshes & enlightens a century of Queensland history.’- Nick Trompf: ’His legacy for Cairns is considerable, not just the key role he played in establishing James Cook University’s campus, the city’s art gallery or the world-acclaimed Convention Centre but also the leadership he showed for numerous local organisations...’
