Charmaine Clark … Les Bourke 2. Barb Fitzpatrick … Leanne McCormack SNAPDRAGON’S JOKE In Brisbane is a take-away strip with MacDonald's and Hungry Jack's restaurants close together. MacDonalds recently employed a young girl with a Burqa as a play for the multicultural patronage. It was a disaster with custom falling off dramatically. It only took three weeks and she was let go. A week later it was noticed that she was working at Hungry jacks, in her Burqa still, but this time their sales were going through the roof. It was a bit of a mystery and the word got around in Brisbane. ABC's religious programme, Compass, did an investigation into it and the only reason they could find for the situation was that the Burqas were better at Hungry Jacks.

Peter Gardner - Independent Candidate for Gippsland East I have lived and worked in the Ensay and Swifts Creek districts for 40 years and am now resident in Bairnsdale. I have been concerned for some time that the threat of climate change is real and may be far worse than either the media or the politicians tell us. Consequently I have been standing for office on a ‘Vote Climate Vote Solar’ ticket at all levels of government. I have devoted my time and funds to this process since 2008. I am standing again in Gippsland East and have a range of policies to provide employment, improved emergency services and public transport and the changeover to renewable sustainable energy sources. In particular I also oppose any unconventional gas or coal projects. More details can be found on my website at www.petergardner.info As this is a low budget campaign please spread the word. I will not be allocating or directing preferences. ‘Vote Climate Vote Solar Vote 1 Gardner in Gippsland East’ Authorised by H.
