The election campaining has begun!
The main point of standing is to gain a place in the Australian Senate so I can help drag the Senate back to representing the people instead of political parties.
Today, the party members are so obsessed with either gaining or staying in Government, that they have largely forgotten the main point of it all, which is representing the people of the state and the nation.
I'm also standing to ensure we keep Australia as the prosperous, stable and decent society that it is today.

Who I'd like to meet: I'd like to meet all Queenslanders to start with, but given the short timeframe, that may not be possible... Better get out there...
So if you were a fan of A Name Will Come, and our music, please go to www. myspace. com/flowersforlilly and add them as a friend.
However, we ask that you only do this if you are a fan.
Thank you.
Tell your friends. Jimmy Flowers For Lily
PS Be gentle when you get there - most of the songs we've posted to the new site are acoustic drafts recorded at home - so when you give us your opinion on the music, bear that in mind ;-)
What we wanted to let you know, in case you missed the blog or the bulletin, is this:
A Name Will Come's new CD is out now, and is available for purchase via the following link:
www. anamewillcome. ecrater. com
If you're a bit dubious about following a link outside myspace, you can always message us directly to get one, or simply come to one of our shows, as we've always got some on hand.
Also, from the beginning of June the CD will be available for download on ITunes. Currently our very first work, a demo style three song EP called Unmastered, is the only material available on ITunes.
So if you like our music, help us keep doing what we do best, and get yourself a CD.
Thanks again for all your support and friendship.
Keep in touch, and remember, if we don't write to you all the time, we haven't forgotten you; but we are kind of busy most of the time - but if you write to us, we'll be sure to write back.
I'm going to the John Butler Trio Concert on Thursday night, but i'm trying to work out some way to pop in and see you on the way to that. I'll see what i can do
