I'm Seranna and I'm the N.T Senate Candidate for the Australian Sex party.

I have seen Fiona from afar for the past decade and thought- wow how amazing- there is a women who knows what she wants and can talk about it sooo easily. Last Thursday afternoon I had the opportunity to meet her in person.

I went to pick her up from the airport and enquired about the trip. She is the only person I've met who hugged me and replied, "YES! it was a GRREEEAAAT flight!" Fiona's energy, enthusiasm and bubbly personality was inspirational. I thought I was the only person with that much energy after a flight!

Thursday at 5pm we went to ABC radio and I did my first ever radio interview, as the senate candidate. I’ve done many interviews over the years about my published books, my films and the recent brothel and police registration debate, yet with only 3 weeks of research- of the Sex Party’s policies- I just about fell over when the announcer talking about removal of the porn ban in communities asked, "how do you motivate parents that don't care about their children? I thought Oh gosh, what have I got myself in for?

Friday we arrived at Browns Mart and at 11am. A few familiar faces arrived for the press conference- and as Fiona announced me as the N.T senate Candidate, my heart raced. Then the local media from the radio, TV and newspapers started pounding questions at me. They asked why I decided to become a politician, what the party’s policies on the mining tax were and why N.T voters should vote for me and furthermore why people that don't even have sex should vote for me.

The flashes of camera started and I was so nervous I couldn't fully smile. When we were finally finished I felt like I had been racked over the hot coals.

I'd been having nightmares all week about the press conference and was glad to finally have it over. We even went for a few drinks afterwards to calm my nerves.

On Saturday morning the Northern Territory news ran a story on page 3. I nervously read over the article which I was pretty satisfied with except for the photo. But everyone knows the camera puts on 10 pounds, right? I logged online and read the comments by readers, some people pointed out perceived faults of the campaign but the majority of comments were positive.

On Saturday afternoon we headed to Monsoons, a local pub, to do a promotional public meeting. I'd been plugging it all week, putting up posters and handing out flyers. Fiona and I enjoyed a pizza and to make sure I was on the ball I only drank water or Mother.

The questions started coming from not only the locals but also backpackers and foreigners. We handed out t-shirts and stickers to everyone and before I knew it we had a sea of people in Sex Party promotional gear.

Listening to Fiona answer people questions about the party and its policies I once again felt inspired by such a independent, strong woman, I soaked in every minute of it and found myself answering questions as well. It was a bit overwhelming to talk to people about the party when I still feel so new to it all but I believe I managed to pull it off. Maybe this Senator idea isn't so bad.

By 5:15pm things were in full swing and after a fake tattoo of the Sex

Party was put on someone’s bum everyone started to join in and before long we had photos being taken of bums with our logo on it. True Sex Party style.

At 6:15 we had a room full of people talking about how amazing the sex party was and our lucky door prize which consisted of an array of sex toys went to the manger of one of the adult shops.

Thank you to everyone that made this possible.
