"For me personally,that really sucks that we're losing that."

Cr Sri said he was bemused about the national attention his wardrobe had received.

"I think it was originally my partner's scarf and sometimes I borrow her clothes and now it's more mine,"he said.

"Too many politicians dress in drab clothes. It's nice to have some colour."

Cr Sri was first elected as representative for The Gabba ward at the March 2016 Brisbane City Council election.

While his local profile has risen steadily since then,his appearance bemused interstate viewers and political commentators who took to social media after his address.

But Cr Sri's scarf is not a new addition to his wardrobe – he frequently wears the rainbow scarf to the council chambers at City Hall.

Cr Sri is also a keen poet. His latest rhyme was about Adani.
