Fiona Onasanya has rebranded herself as a motivational speaker, and has released a 122 page memoir (titled Snakes & Adders: A Set Up for the Step Up) telling her side of the story.
There is no reference to the recall petition that saw her ousted from parliament in the book.
She ends most of the paragraphs in this book with at least two exclamation marks!!
Written largely like a child's school essay on what they did over the weekend, Fiona's legal background means that she remembers every single mundane detail about city council meetings and job applications - and she spends a significant portion of the slim page count recounting these in detail.
Here's an actual paragraph from chapter three, which is so boring it's practically a work of art:
"The evening of the GC came around really quickly. I got my bike and cycled to Alex Wood Hall. There were a few people already there when I arrived. "Would you like a tea or coffee?" "No thank you" I replied; "I don't drink tea or coffee!" The person asking looked quite surprised. Recalling it now makes me wonder if they believed me or thought that was my way of declining an offer of a hot drink. That said, I was more than happy to help myself to a biccy (or two!)."
Throughout the book, she insists she wasn't guilty of perverting the course of justice - but strangely never once makes reference to why she ended up in court in the first place.
A short chapter on her time in parliament abruptly ends by cutting to her in court. But she never references the speeding offence, just insists that she is not guilty of a crime she refuses to directly mention.
At one point, she describes hearing a radio report stating that numerous people have written to the attorney general complaining that her sentence is too lenient, as she is confused why people don't see she has had her "liberty removed".
Her most traumatic stories include seeing a naked inmate dancing outside the shower room to annoy the guards, and having to eat a tin of spaghetti hoops for a meal.
