The ABC's chief election analyst Antony Green declares the LNP's Bryson Head the winner of the seat, which spans an area from central Queensland to the Western Downs.
Key points:He will be the youngest member of Queensland parliamentThe ABC's chief election analyst Antony Green declared the LNP's Bryson Head the winner of the seat, which spans an area from central Queensland to the Western Downs.
As of Sunday morning, Mr Head had claimed 49.89 per cent of the vote, well ahead of Labor's Bronwyn Dendle in second, with 19.56 per cent. Callide was previously held by LNP's Colin Boyce, who resigned after becoming the new federal member for Flynn in May."He'll be the youngest member of the parliament," Mr Crisafulli said.
"But his background is something that I think people will find refreshing— from a farm, works in the mining industry. "And he ran a campaign based on the issues that matter … better health care, better law and order and fixing roads … and people really responded to that."Mr Head, 26, is a self-declared "farm boy" and has worked as a geologist in Australia and Canada."A lot of people from central Queensland have to sit in an ambulance and head to Rockhampton because minor surgeries can't get done here," he said in the lead-up to the by-election.
