In a whimsical play on the lyrics of a popular song from yesteryear and a few other liberties , another nickel has been bunged in the nickelodeon music machine to prevent the LNP member for Herbert , Ewen Jones, from playing the same old , ear-grating , murderous tune on his violin . It is in the shape of a sacked former Queensland Nickel worker, Aaron Raffin, making a late entry as a candidate in Herbert for the Glenn Lazarus Team . Thickset Lazarus , who defected from the Palmer United Party , was dubbed a brick with eyes when he played football in Queensland . Leading the attack on Ewen's dubious musical career is the ALP candidate , Cathy O'Toole , who is performing like a champion Wurlitzer player at a command performance at the grand opening of Townsville's proposed new super dooper stadium .
