High and certainly not dry on the Picnic Bay , Magnetic Island, foreshore is this unusual link with the maritime past , apparently a longboat from the dredge named after Sir Thomas Alfred Hiley, a former leader of the Queensland Liberal Party and the state's Treasurer from 1957-l965.
The bow part is full of foul smelling water which gives the impression it has been there for a long time. Odd objects visible within the mess , near the rusting levers of government , give the shock impression that they could almost be replicas of private parts of the knight's anatomy !!!
Maiden aunts are warned that the object floating near the pointy end of the boat strongly resembles the honourable member's member and may induce a touch of the vapours.
The waterfront roundsman , the only one north of Curl Curl , says it reflects badly on the Liberal Party that a vessel named after a onetime Liberal Leader and a former Queensland treasurer , a chartered accountant no less , is now neglected , rotting away .

He suggests the craft be quickly emptied , refurbished by cladders of buildings with inflammable panels and donated to the seasick members of the National Party mutineers so that the motley crew can all try and pull in the same direction - towards Atlantis , in the middle of the Sargasso Sea , never to be seen again , devoured by a school of Kraken from the ABC's Mad As Hell bizarre props department .
