About The Author
Sandi Logan
After a career in journalism spanning a decade from 1974, Sandi Logan joined the Australian foreign service and undertook postings to PNG, Bonn and Washington, DC, before returning to Canberra as a spokesperson for various departments, agencies and ministers until consulting in communications strategy from 2014.
He not only reported on the Drug Grannies’ plight after their sentencing in early 1978, but actively fought for their release. He interviewed them extensively, and has exclusive ownership of the women’s diaries, writings/musings, correspondence, birthday and Christmas cards (during imprisonment), scrapbooks, extensive photographs and travel documents, including their deportation and ‘freedom’ orders.
