Our hardened Shipping Reporter admits the latest sight of former Queensland Liberal Party Leader,Sir Thomas Hiley, reduced to a beach bum , brought tears to his eyes. Sir Thomas has been drying out on the Picnic Bay foreshore, Magnetic Island , abandoned by the heartless Liberals, for many years , nobody caring about him , his plight not picked up by the mainland media.
When our Good Samaritan waterfront roundsman called on Sir Tom he found assorted rubbish , including a coat hanger , empty beercans and a filthy Onkaparinga blanket on his person, vessel . Monsters from the deep could be seen glaring up from the oily bilge .
Nearby was a cork from a wino's bottle of plonk . The Canadian Beaver seen swimming about in the soupy water on a previous occasion had disappeared, probably rescued in a joint operation by the RSPCA and the Royal Canadian Mounties .
