A re-elected LNP without Campbell Newman: could this be the election that returns Queensland to normality? asks Ben Raue in The Guardian (6.1.15). ‘If Newman is seen to be in danger of losing his seat, his party’s campaign may struggle to answer questions about who would lead a re-elected LNP government. With Labor needing 5.7% to win Ashgrove, and 12.5% to win the overall election, it’s entirely conceivable that the government could be re-elected without Newman in the lead. That scenario may help Labor reach the vote it needs to win back power.’
