Autorenporträt
About the author: John Pasquarelli is perhaps best known to the Australian public for being Pauline Hanson's political adviser after her election to the Federal Parliament in 1996. Pasquarelli authored Hanson's maiden speech which has gone down in Australian political history as the most controversial and recognised maiden speech of any parliamentarian since federation. Since 1960, Pasquarelli has periodically lived and worked in Papua New Guinea and was a member of that country's first parliament, 1964-1968. He was the first to discover the gold and copper at Frieda River in 1963 and shot crocodiles when he began his trading activities on the Sepik and Ramu Rivers. Pasquarelli is acknowledged as an expert on Oceanic Art and he collected for Nelson Rockefeller in the 1960s. He was a substantial donor to the PNG National Museum and during his time in parliament had the famous Haus Tambaran at Kanganaman on the Middle Sepik declared National Cultural Property. In recent years, Pasquarelli has become a talented artist, selling his works to prominent Australians and staging a number of public exhibitions. John currently lives in Townsville where he maintains a keen and active interest in Australian and PNG politics and occasionally appears on the Alan Jones Breakfast Show. This is John's second book after his best selling The Pauline Hanson Story By The Man Who Knows.
