Real estate agents go on about position , position . In the case of the Liberal National Party candidate for the seat of Herbert Phil Thompson having your corflute attached to a real estate SALE sign , above , in an open paddock prone to flooding on Magnetic Island , was surely the wrong position . "Is this bloke up for sale ? " asked a passer-by.
It will undoubtedly be included in the tropical oddity section of the National Film and Sound Archives collection to which former Liberal National Party Member for Herbert , Ewen Jones , was surprisingly appointed the day before the Morrison caretaker government began and received scant attention in Townsville media .
You would think it deserved a follow up in which he would be asked why he got the position , did he apply for it , how much is it worth , does he have any interesting selfies suitable for the archives (what about the one showing him juggling a hand grenade which made military onlookers shake their heads ?) , is it a job for the boys , and so forth.

The learned columnist in the Melbourne Saturday Paper Richard Ackland , in the Gadfly Diary , always great reading , written in an inimitable style , covered the Jones boyo's appointment,which is for three years .
A member of the Morrison Government Gadfy said the Human Toilet Brush - Communications and Arts Minister , Mitch Fifield ?- had been in a frantic state in the lead up to the election just before the shutters came down , dishing out jobs on various government arts boards under his auspices, the National Film and Sound Archives one .
Gadfly commented that " the joke " in archives was that Jones, an auctioneer and real estate agent , would be able to flog off duplicate copies of the collection . He replaces the late ex-National MP for Hinkler Paul Nevile , a former manager of the Bundaberg cinema . Ewen will be seated alongside Fiona Scott , former Liberal MP for Lindsay , who lost her seat at the last election.
