How a former Queensland government minister wound up on The White Lotus

A former Beattie government minister has landed an acting role in one of the most talked about television shows of the past few years.

The article from WAtoday discusses how Ros Bates, a former Queensland government minister, unexpectedly appeared in an episode of the popular HBO series "The White Lotus." Bates, who was attending a conference in Thailand, was filmed by the show's crew while she was walking through the Four Seasons Resort in Koh Samui, where the series was being filmed. Unaware that she was being recorded, Bates was later surprised to see herself in the background of a scene in the show's second season. The article highlights the humorous and coincidental nature of her cameo, noting that Bates, now the Shadow Minister for Health and Mental Health, has become somewhat of a local celebrity for her brief, unintended role in the acclaimed series.
