Chris Hooper attended the draw wearing a pineapple-themed shirt and said in a statement he was âdefinitely the underdogâ and that he would finance his own campaign rather than accept money from âself-serving peopleâ.
âThe Palaszczuk Government has spent millions of dollars of tax payer money to prevent me from being mayor,â he said.
âI am really pleased that a lot of people have suddenly showed a lot of interest in running for council: this could best be described as âThe Pineapple Effectâ.
âIt would be even better if the new candidates spent some time and effort in developing some policies first other than claiming to be an honest, community-minded, hard worker.â
