Stuart Robert (Fadden, Liberal Party) Share this | Hansard source

I rise to praise the efforts of the Liberal team at the recent Gold Coast election. Whilst the result was clearly not what we had hoped for, the effort, the support and the team work that went into the campaign were second to none. Let me firstly praise FEC chairman Peter Gallus for his foresight and the work he put in. It was a sterling job—well done. Let me also acknowledge the six divisional candidates who ran in the area of Fadden—division 1, Cher Coad; division 2, Cheryle Royle; division 3, Keith Douglas; division 4, George Frame; division 5, Daren Riley; division 6, Grant Thompson—and, of course, the mayoral candidate Tom Tate. Whilst a number of results are outstanding, the six candidates and the mayoral candidate put in an outstanding effort. Let me also thank the Fadden branches for their work in supporting and manning the booths. It was a credit to the Liberal Party on the Gold Coast. Let me say a big ‘well done’.
