There will be a by-election soon for the Queensland state seat of Stafford, sadly triggered by the recent death of independent MP Jimmy Sullivan.
Sullivan was elected twice as a Labor MP in 2020 and 2024, but was expelled from the party in May 2025 over domestic violence allegations, and passed away last week.
The by-election will likely be held around the middle of 2026. Stafford is a relatively conventional Labor seat in the northern suburbs of Brisbane. I don’t think it’s a particularly good area for One Nation, but I’m sure they will make their presence know.
