apparently he serves his electorate very well

How?! Isn’t he still convinced we need to be building up defenses in Darwin in case the Japanese come back to finish off the job? And I heard he’s still sketchy on this whole proposed gst thing.

He's phenomenally good at pushing/negotiating for them to get the infrastructure and services they need. Don't underestimate the power of that in a rural seat.

He's a bit of a meme, but he's exactly what you want in your local member

That's all well and good, but he ain't spending any time on it because in the meantime, every three months, a person is torn to pieces by a crocodile in north Queensland!
