What are they saying about his new book:

‘We need more Keith DeLacys in the Queensland Government.’ - Jim Kennedy AO

‘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.’ - John Roskam

‘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.' - Gary Johns

‘Queensland was fortunate to have had a man of courage, common sense and practical experience at the controls at exactly that moment when opportunity came knocking. Fortunately, his CV omitted to mention a Ph.D. from the University of Life and Hard Knocks. This is sometimes better than a Harvard MBA.’ - Martin Kriewaldt

‘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...’ - Nick Trompf
