## Resource

Queensland’s new electoral map is sparking controversy after the LNP gains two seats while Labor and Katter’s Australian Party each lose one—marking the first redraw since 2017. A key independent-held seat is erased for the third time, and a Labor frontbencher’s Gold Coast seat now looks vulnerable to the LNP. Even a newly created southeast seat, once thought to favor Labor, is now leaning LNP. Opposition leaders accuse the government of manipulating the process, citing a commissioner they deem too partisan, and warn the changes dilute north Queensland’s parliamentary voice. Analysts debate the math behind the redraw, which the commission says reflects population shifts. The government insists the commission made impartial decisions and that priorities lie with public safety—not politics—and that the changes could reshape the 2028 election landscape.
