LNP Wide Bay Regional Chairman Damien Tessmann<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

July 31, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kingaroy has been selected as the venue for the 2015 State Council meeting of the LNP, the first time the South Burnett has been chosen as host.<\/p>\n

LNP Wide Bay Regional chairman Damien Tessmann said there would be more than 200 delegates coming for the event which will run over the weekend of November 21-22.<\/p>\n

Each State electorate will send two representatives plus there will be representatives from each Federal division.<\/p>\n

All LNP State MPs – as well as Queensland National and Liberal MHRs and Senators – will also be in attendance.<\/p>\n

Cr Tessmann said a cocktail function would be held on the Friday night, and a dinner on the Saturday night.<\/p>\n

The rest of Saturday and half of Sunday would be set aside for the State Council meeting which will be held at Kingaroy Town Hall.<\/p>\n

He said he had been “pushing and pushing” for a town in the Wide Bay Region to host the meeting, and he was really excited Kingaroy had been selected.<\/p>\n

“It’s quite an honour when you realise it’s usually towns the size of Rockhampton, Cairns, Townsville or Toowoomba which are chosen,” he said.<\/p>\n

Cr Tessmann said the State Council meeting should provide a boost for the local economy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“You could also say it is a ‘reward’ for the seat of Nanango, too, as it was the only LNP seat which increased its margin at the last tough State election,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We have been given the guernsey over towns like Bundaberg and Hervey Bay.”<\/p>\n

The State Council is the next level down in the LNP from the State Convention but it is still a policy-making body.<\/p>\n

Representatives from each State Electoral Council and Federal Divisional Council bring along resolutions to be debated which can then become party policy.<\/p>\n

In fact, it was at a State Council meeting that the LNP’s policy stand opposing same-sex marriage was first endorsed.<\/p>\n

There are three LNP branches in the South Burnett: Wondai, Proston-Durong and South Burnett.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
