Here's a photo of my son, Thomas, at the ALP National Conference last week.

Hmmm... Bad choice of words, perhaps.

G'day Stephen and everyone,

You should be proud Stephen, to be father to a young lad who is not into graffiti or tattoos. (well not obviously anyway). My son has a tattoo but at least he was not silly enough to have it on a spot that is visible in normal shirt sleeves. Even short sleeved tee shirts don't let it show. Fortunately, although the girl was very influential at the time, at least she didn't convince him to have her name included.

Just received my copy of the Toolangi booklet and my HC certificate.

Just as an aside too: When on holiday in FNQ two years ago we saw posters, round the Ingham/Tully area, of a young politician with an even bigger hat!
