In his first book Tales from Boomtown: Western Australian Premiers from Brand to Barnett, Kennedy explores the issues linked with the jailing of two premiers and a deputy premier, the removal of a premier mid-term, the election of the nation’s first female premier and the ‘WA Inc’ Royal Commission.
Kennedy’s interviews include Premiers Brian Burke, Peter Dowding, Carmen Lawrence, Richard Court, Geoff Gallop and Colin Barnett and federal leaders including Malcolm Fraser, John Howard, Paul Keating, Graham Richardson and Malcolm Turnbull.
