Amanda Stoker to contest ‘safe seat’ for Queensland LNP Former federal assistant minister and senator turned television host Amanda Stoker will attempt a political comeback at the next Queensland election after being preselected to contest the seat of Oodgeroo for the LNP, AAP reports. Stoker’s preselection comes after sitting LNP member for Oodgeroo Dr Mark Robinson announced earlier this year he would retire at the next election.
Dr Robinson has held the seat – which takes in the northern bayside parts of Redlands Council east of Brisbane – since 2009, retaining it on a margin of 4.5% at the last election. As someone who talks with a lot of Queenslanders, it is clear the Palaszczuk Labor Government has lost its way. We need a government that will stem the chaos at the Redlands hospital, take youth crime seriously, improve housing supply and reduce cost pressures for local families.
