Federal Election Campaign Brings PM Morrison to Gladstone Airport with RAAF B737-700BBJ A36-001 & Alliance F-70 VH-JFE

As we've mentioned, the Central Queensland-based Federal Parliamentary seats of Flynn, Capricornia and Dawson are some of the most marginal and thus more important ones during this Federal Election campaign.  On Friday 26 April, Prime Minister Scott Morrison was noted on the hustings around Gladstone having flown down late morning from Townsville.
