It was reported in the Courier Mail that Barcaldine Mayor Sean Dillon is the front runner to win LNP preselection for the seat of Gregory. Gregory MP Lachlan Millar is retiring at the next state election. Whatever happens in the preselection, LNP retains.
Interesting that the Katters didn’t run here last time. I know this isn’t really part of North Queensland, it’s the central west, and perhaps that distracts from the Katters’ long term vision of a separate North Queensland state. Even so, it does border their heartland of Traeger and is similarly sparsely populated and rural, so I think the Katters would have a decent level of appeal here if they ran.
Its been confirmed in the media Sean Dillon has been preselected as the LNP’s candidate in Gregory.
@ Wilson Agreed. The KAP ran in Warrego in 2017 and ended up in the TPP against the LNP, losing by something like 9.5%. With the right candidate and attitude they could do well in Gregory, although their main focus should continue to be on Cook and the Townsville seats for now.
Easy LNP retain – Sean Dillon will be the new MP. Can see this being an LNP v PHON contest.
