The seat is held by Labor’s Cynthia Lui who is seeking a second term after being elected in 2017.

The LNP has endorsed  David Kempton, who is no stranger to the seat which he held for three years from 2012. 

Former decorated police officer, community leader, and  government worker Duan ‘Mossy’ Amos is representing Katter’s Australia Party. 

Retired  fireman and prolific  letter writer Peter Campion is campaigning on behalf of One Nation. 

Paramedic and nurse Troy Miller is The Greens’ hopeful in the large electorate.

Surprisingly, no independents have nominated for the seat.

Voters go to the polls on Saturday.
