Bruce Mark Saunders is an Australian former politician who served as the Labor member for Maryborough in the Queensland Legislative Assembly from 2015 until his defeat at the 2024 state election.
He previously worked as a radio announcer in Maryborough prior to opening Scoops on Bazaar, a gelato shop, in December 2013.
He recontested Keppel in 1998 but again fell short of victory, although he achieved a 6.7 percent swing, enough to make the seat marginal.
Incumbent MP Anne Maddern had been elected during the landslide Liberal National victory of 2012, narrowly defeating then-incumbent Independent member Chris Foley.
Following Palaszczuk's resignation in December 2023, he was also made Assistant Minister for Regional Development and Jobs as part of the Miles ministry.
