LNP candidate Ken O’Dowd had a nail-biting 10-day wait to claim victory in Flynn at the 2016 Federal Election, narrowly downing ALP candidate Zac Beers – who is running again at this year’s poll – on the back of postal votes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

March 25, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Member for Flynn Ken O’Dowd believes The Greens and the Labor Party are far greater threats to rural Queensland than One Nation.<\/p>\n

Speaking on ABC Radio on Monday morning, the LNP MP – who won Flynn with a slim margin at the last poll – said he believed One Nation should be placed higher than either The Greens or the ALP on his how-to-vote cards.<\/p>\n

This is in contrast to other Coalition MPs who have said they want One Nation put “dead last” in the wake of the Christchurch massacre.<\/p>\n

Mr O’Dowd, who will be visiting party members at Boondooma Homestead on Tuesday, told the ABC that The Greens and the ALP should be “kept out at all costs”.<\/p>\n

One Nation has pre-selected grazier Sharon Lohse as the party’s candidate for Flynn.<\/p>\n

She previously stood unsuccessfully for One Nation in Callide at the State election.<\/p>\n

Mrs Lohse hit the news in 2004 when she and her husband Rob were told by the State Government their grazing lease south of Biggenden would not be renewed as it was required for a national park.<\/p>\n

The family fought the decision in the Supreme Court and won.\u00a0The lease was renewed, but only for 20 years and only as a right to graze on a national park.<\/p>\n

One Nation’s preferences would be expected to flow towards Mr O’Dowd on a two-party preferred basis.<\/p>\n

Fellow LNP MP Llew O’Brien, the Member for Wide Bay, was reported in a Gympie newspaper last week as saying he wouldn’t rule out putting The Greens last, either.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr O’Brien had an easier win at the 2016 election, defeating his Labor Party opponent with 58.14 per cent of the vote on a two-party basis.<\/p>\n

One Nation have not yet announced their candidate in Wide Bay.<\/p>\n

Member for Maranoa David Littleproud has been non-committal about preference allocation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He told Sky News he would work through the decision with the State LNP organisation.<\/p>\n

At the last Federal election, Mr Littleproud secured 49.19 per cent of the primary vote, with the One Nation candidate coming in second with 17.82 per cent.<\/p>\n

On a two-party basis, One Nation secured 34.14 per cent of the vote, compared with 65.86 per cent for the LNP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
