STATEMENT from the Southern Queensland LNP Team - Redistribution

The redistribution by the Electoral Commission of Queensland (ECQ) represents the biggest shake-up of electoral boundaries in 30 years.

This isn’t about politicians – it’s about Queenslanders and ensuring they get the best representation possible.

The Liberal National Party will accept the umpire’s decision. We are united and focused on delivering the jobs, infrastructure and safer communities that Queensland needs to reach its full potential.

We, the LNP State team, have carefully studied the findings and are pleased to confirm:

• Deb Frecklington will continue to represent the people of the Nanango electorate and will seek pre-selection for the seat at the next election;
• Trevor Watts will continue to represent the people of the Toowoomba North electorate and will seek pre-selection for the seat at the next election;
• David Janetzki will continue to represent the people of Toowoomba South and will seek pre-selection for the seat at the next election;
• Pat Weir will continue to represent the people of the Condamine electorate and will seek pre-selection for the seat at the next election; and
• Jon Krause will continue to represent the people of the Beaudesert electorate and will seek pre-selection for the seat Scenic Rim at the next election.

Our proven track record in delivering for our constituents means the LNP is the only party that will listen, plan and act to Build a Better Queensland.

As a team, we will continue to deliver for the people of Toowoomba, Condamine, Nanango and Beaudesert.

Given that Annastacia Palaszczuk has indicated an election will be held on the new boundaries, the LNP will be working tirelessly to deliver for our current electorates and will hit the ground running serving the new ones too.
