Here we are at the Gold Coast s Paradise Point Bowls Club, home of the mighty Dolphins and Monday night s famous Parmimania where the chicken parmi comes in five different flavours - Classic, Hawaiian, The Stockman, Mexican and Meat Lovers. It s the sort of watering hole that once peppered our towns; a place that smells like beer and friendship, where the meat trays are raffled, the drinks are ice-cold, and the bar staff have masters degrees in banter. And here, at a long table beside the bar is Queensland s newest State Opposition leader, David Crisafulli, 41, telling a story to a pod of Dolphin players sitting around it, pots of amber gold in hand.
