Newly elected Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington has no illusions about the job ahead of her …<\/p>\n

“It’s going to be massive work,” she told southburnett.com.au<\/strong> on Tuesday afternoon, just hours after the LNP Party Room elected her leader.<\/p>\n

“But I’m not afraid of hard work and I have the determination to get the job done.”<\/p>\n

Mrs Frecklington said she was humbled that a Party Room of 39 people had put their faith in her.<\/p>\n

She confirmed that both John-Paul Langbroek and Mark Robinson had also stood for the position, but she would not comment on the voting numbers.<\/p>\n

Mrs Frecklington said her first job now was to consult with her Deputy Tim Mander and colleagues about the Shadow Ministry positions.<\/p>\n

She said she had worked with Mr Mander previously, and that was why she liked the LNP because it was a small group and everyone knew each other really well.<\/p>\n

“We all get along really well,” she said. “We have robust discussions in the party room but when we leave we are a team.”<\/p>\n
