Geography
Eastern Brisbane. Doboy covers suburbs to the east of the Brisbane CBD, including Murarrie, Tingalpa and Carina.
History
Labor’s John Campbell held Doboy for approximately thirty years from the early 1980s until 2012. Campbell served as opposition leader from 1990 to 1991 and as deputy mayor from 1991 to 1997.
Doboy had become quite marginal in the 2000s, with Campbell’s margin cut to 5% in 2004 and 1% in 2008.
In 2012, a 5.5% swing to the Liberal National Party saw Campbell lose to LNP candidate Ryan Murphy.
Murphy was re-elected despite a tiny swing to Labor in 2016. In 2019, Murphy switched to the neighbouring safe LNP ward of Chandler to replace new lord mayor Adrian Schrinner, and his seat in Doboy was filled by the LNP’s Lisa Atwood. Atwood won a full term in 2020.
- Lisa Atwood (Liberal National)
- Alex Cossu (Labor)
- James Smart (Greens)

At this stage of the campaign I’ve seen tonnes of Labor corflutes and nothing from the other candidates in Doboy – if that’s anything to go by.
You might be seeing my ugly mug around soon.
