One of this blog's scruffy roaming correspondents spotted the unmistakable full figure of Ewen Jones , LNP Member for Herbert , Queensland , hands in trouser pockets , swirling into a Townsville beauty parlour , R2 , Australian Hairdresser of the Year , which offers a $150 ultimate makeover. Our reporter subsequently caught a glimpse of Jones in the horizontal , sans specs, draped in black cloth , looking like Star Wars collateral damage. Jones, who prances about like an astromech droid with a malfunction for the media during his early morning jogging sessions when in Canberra , recently had his moustache , much to his wife's delight, removed to promote men's health .
Up against Cathy O'Toole (ALP), whose parents once ran a chain of hairdressing salons , Jones is likely to emerge a nude nut ( tonsorially speaking ) after next year's election .
