The problem with this theory is there are so many other things to do at the conf.

So if your Qld rep lived in > Cairns, would you be any better off than if they lived in Ultimo? I've at least visited Cairns in the past (I was, what, 12? Actually, I think I took a flight last year that stopped in Cairns); I don't even have any idea where Ultimo is. It certainly seems a lot more reasonable to expect a Qld ctte member to try spending some time visiting areas in Queensland, than someone from Sydney or Perth. Pia's made a top effort, but hasn't actually managed to visit all the capitals, eg. Likewise, it seems a bit more reasonable for people in "regional centres" to visit their local capital to have a chat with a ctte member, than to have to visit Sydney or similar. Or vice-versa, in the event we get some nominations from people outside capitals in future. Okay, I think I'm coming on stronger than's warranted now. I'll try to stop.
