Mail gaffe embarassing: Qld Labor hopeful A LABOR candidate in central Queensland caught up in an embarrassing mailout gaffe doesn't think his slip up is enough to derail his campaign. A letter sent out in Flynn tells postal voters that Labor candidate Chris Trevor will work closely with Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to "protect jobs and services against cuts and secure Logan's economic future." Logan, south of Brisbane, is about 550km from Flynn's main centre, Gladstone. Mr Trevor says it's an embarrassing oversight from campaign headquarters, but he will take the blame. "My first concern when I heard about this was making sure the person who made the mistake was ok," he told AAP. These things can devastate people, but at the end of the day everyone makes mistakes. And, of course, the buck stops with me. Mr Trevor says he won't dwell on the issue and doesn't think it will ruin his chances in the marginal seat, which he lost to the Liberal National Party's Ken O'Dowd in 2010. "I think people are more forgiving than that and everybody knows it was just a minor error that was unintended," he said. But Mr O'Dowd says Mr Trevor - a solicitor - should have checked the mailouts. He says it's indicative of the Labor party's "spin machine," which would churn out the same letters to every electorate but just change the names. "He's been bowled a cropper around the leg and been cleaned bowled because ... it's really up to the candidate to check those letters," he said.
