description: "Russell Brunell Trood was a Liberal Party Senator for the state of Queensland, Australia. His surprise election as the third Liberal from Queensland in the 2004 Australian federal election, along with 38 other Coalition Senators, gave the federal government of John Howard a majority in the Senate, and thus control of both houses of Parliament. He did not retain his seat in the 2010 Australian federal election. His term in the Senate ended on 30 June 2011."
