Hmm ... As I was in the airport yday, there was 2 repeated pages from QF staff at Gate 8 for a Pauline Hanson (and another male pax, with the same last name) ... I know from earlier that Pauline Hanson was/is a politician ... So I thought the person paged yesterday could be the policitian, Pauline. However, because I could not physically see for myself that the person paged was indeed the politician Pauline Hanson, I said that it could be a different person, perhaps.

I was seated in the same section as the politician Bronwyn Bishop once flying from Sydney to Brisbane, but not next to her. That's about the extent of my "luck".
 
Dylan Alcott passing at CBR just now.

Update: He is flying off to MEL and was paged to board the aircraft. Funnily, the QF ADB person, probably, did not realize who he was and was paging, in a rather loud voice (however, knowing the person who made the announcement, I can confirm that this was their normal voice lol :D) "Mr. Alcott, this is your final boarding call before offloading commences and your flight departs". As the announcement commenced, he was on his way from the QF lounge and was almost near the gate. As he heard his name for the second time, he had this look on his face and asked his travel partners "guys, final call!" and he then made a quick yell "Hey, I'm here" waving the to the ADB person and they smiled & acknowledged.

Maybe. Although Dylan lives in Melbourne (source: he used to live just down the road from us until his career took off and he moved on to bigger and better things…) He would have been in CBR handing over his Australian of the Year title.
