Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington has thanked Nanango Electorate residents for putting their faith in her again as their elected representative in the State Parliament.
“I am humbled by the election results for our electorate, and regardless of the final composition of the Parliament, I will continue to fight for our fair share in our region,” Mrs Frecklington said.
“And if you didn’t vote for me, I respect and value that our democracy allows differences of opinions. I hope that I can earn your trust during the next term and would welcome your feedback at any time.
“I would also like to acknowledge the volunteers, friends and family who have done so much over the past weeks and months to support myself and the LNP.
“I’m looking forward to getting on with the job and continuing to represent this wonderful region.
“My passion and commitment to keep working hard for our community is as strong as ever and I hope to see you out and about on my travels around the Nanango Electorate.”

Updated Election Results
At 7:15pm on Friday with 84.1 per cent of the Nanango roll counted:
Mrs Frecklington has an unchallengeable lead although the seat has not been officially declared.
On a Queensland-wide basis, pundits were tipping the ALP to win 46 seats – one less than the 47 needed to govern as a majority – with the LNP taking 36, Katter’s Australia Party 3, One Nation 1, Independent 1 and six seats in doubt.
LNP leader Tim Nicholls has not yet conceded defeat.
