The Nats are unlikely to find a candidate who holds the affection of his electorate as well as Donald Loftus Page when he resigns in March next year and the state election begins. Mr Page comes from one of Australia’s longest-serving political dynasties: Don’s 26 years in office are topped by his granddad Earle Christmas Grafton Page’s 41 years, including three weeks as prime minister. We can look to the Anthony family from the Tweed for a competitive record: Larry junior served eight years, his father Doug (who inspired the naming of the Doug Anthony Allstars) 27 years, and his father Larry

senior 20 years. (We can also thank the Anthony family for the donation of the land on which the Tweed regional art gallery sits.) We suspect Don’s longevity in office is due not only to his affability but also to his chameleon nature, his ability to adapt to his political and ethical surroundings of the moment. Don has been often asked to go independent, and in his last few months he could decide to go completely feral, but we doubt his ability/desire to escape from family traditions.

Don’s time as minister for the north coast is likely to be regarded as a pleasant idyll now that Andrew Stoner has taken up the role. Along with energy minister Anthony Roberts, Stoner is likely to push the interests of the CSG industry over the concerns of local residents.
