Mr LAWLOR (Southport-ALP) (10.26 am): The other day I was reading the Gold Coast Bulletin-I always read it from the front to the back page-and I came across an advertisement for the Nationals. It says-

Be a voice in your local community
Expressions of interest invited

There is a photo of Lawrence in the ad with his serious mask on. It continues-

Are you a person who is connected with your local community, cares passionately about people, believes in conservative unity and would like to contribute on a different level to Queensland's future?

'Believes in conservative unity'. I hope you are listening to this, Bob. But the interesting part about it is that it is on the same page as the lost and found, personal announcements, death notices and funeral notices. Whilst it is on the correct page, I think it would more appropriately fit under one of those other categories. Given that there has been no confirmed sighting of a National Party member on the coast for two elections, maybe a funeral notice would be more appropriate. You can see it now: 'Family and friends are respectfully invited to attend the funeral of the National Party. No flowers by request. Just send money.' Or alternatively it could be under the lost and found section. You can see it now: 'Lost-green and yellow budgie; black and white dog; lost-100,000 National Party voters.' But maybe more appropriately it could be under the personal announcements section. Here there is an unfortunate male person seeking female company. It could read: 'National Party seeking Liberals for friendship with a view to a long-term relationship.' Bob Quinn, when are you going to come across and put this man out of his misery?
