Just like the Scarlet Pimpernel, the [State] Member for Monaro is a very hard man to nail down.

Every time there is a meeting concerning forced council mergers requiring his presence, he mysteriously vanishes. His lame excuses are met with extreme scepticism.

Because of his apparent “catch me if you can” attitude, there is one thing that can be certain: that, after the next state election, Mr Barilaro will not be found at Parliament House.
