 When Queensland separated from the colony of NSW in 1859, TLM-P and other squatters were determined to consolidate their interests. The idea of mass democracy was still a radical idea and property owners were generally firm in their conviction that they alone had the right to rule - even if it did mean a few women managed to vote before legislation was amended to exclude them. TLM-P stood for the first election in 1860, but failed to win the seat of East Moreton. He then joined the public service as postal inspector in mid-1861; he was appointed Queensland's first Postmaster-General in 1862. Darbyshire states that TLM-P's brother-in-law, fellow squatters William Barker and Charles Robert Haly, provide part of the necessary bond.(({{http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/murray-prior-thomas-lodge-4282}}; Darbyshire, p.7)) Documents from his time are (or at least, were in 1980) located at the Brisbane General Post Office Museum.((https://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/NAAMedia/ShowImage.aspx?B=5090123&S=1&T=P&R=0))\\ When Queensland separated from the colony of NSW in 1859, TLM-P and other squatters were determined to consolidate their interests.
