Summary
Queensland’s electoral map is being redrawn in a seismic shift that could hand the LNP two extra seats while Labor and Katter’s Australian Party each lose one—sparking accusations of government meddling and cries of corruption from the opposition. With new boundaries favoring the southeast and flipping key Gold Coast seats, longtime MP Shane Knuth faces his third seat abolition, blaming the move for concentrating power away from North Queensland. A newly created Ipswich-area seat is tipped for Labor, but the commission overseeing the changes has drawn fire for its government-appointed commissioner and perceived bias. Premier David Crisafulli insists the new lines are fair and Labor territory, while Opposition Leader Steven Miles warns the boundaries will be forever doubted due to a partisan process.
