Geography
South-western Brisbane. Jamboree covers suburbs along the southern shore of the Brisbane River from Seventeen Mile Rocks to the council boundary, including Jindalee, Mount Ommaney, Westlake, Riverhills and Sinnamon Park.

History
Jamboree was held by Labor councillor Felicity Farmer by the year 2000, although it’s unclear how long she held the ward prior to that point.

Farmer was re-elected in 2004 with a 6.6% margin. In 2008, she lost Jamboree to Liberal candidate Matthew Bourke with a 7.8% swing. Bourke was left with a slim 1.5% margin.

In 2012, Bourke retained his marginal ward with a massive 25.3% swing after preferences, and he won a third term in 2016 despite a swing of 8%.

Bourke retired in 2020, and LNP candidate Sarah Hatton won his seat.

Candidates

Assessment
Jamboree is a reasonably safe LNP seat but was won by Labor as recently as 2004.
