- Content Summary:
- Notes from Janet Hawley: Jan Murray's early high profile came as wife of Federal MP John Brown. She famously had sex on his parliamentary desk with him and dropped her knickers in the boss's ashtray - to show her displeasure that her husband spent so much time in Canberra, leaving her at home in Sydney with their five young children. She and Brown much later on divorced, and in 2010, Murray wrote a book called Sheer Madness, Sex Lies and Politics, detailing her journey from young bride and housewife to educated feminist; true tales of life and love affairs in Canberra, also her journey in understanding her own mental illness, bi polar disorder.
