The LNP has challenged an ABC news story claiming the party has referred Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington to the Electoral Commission of Queensland for investigation.
ABC News reported on Tuesday morning that Mrs Frecklington had been “referred to the election watchdog by her own party”.
The report suggested LNP officials feared “fundraising for her campaign may have broken laws aimed at curbing the political influence of developers”.
However, an official statement from the LNP refutes this.
“The ABC’s allegation that the LNP has referred Deb Frecklington to the ECQ is false. It has not,” the statement said.
“The LNP regularly communicates with the ECQ to ensure that we comply with the Act.”
