Meanwhile, divisive Queensland senator Gerard Rennick’s last-ditch bid to rescue his parliamentary career has reportedly been dashed by his party.
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has ridiculed the Prime Minister’s promise that things will get better as he declared his federal and state parties are in a strong position to win the next elections.
But the opposition leader said the prime minister had “no positive message” to convey after two years in government. “We are credible, we have momentum that we’re putting pressure onto a bad government we are a united team,” he told the party faithful. Premier Steven Miles was described as being installed by union bosses who “simply took over the controls of the wrecking ball” from Annastacia Palaszczuk.
The excitement to hear from the party’s leaders was evident among the 900 delegates at the event, with Queensland opposition environment spokesman Sam O’Connor saying the focus was on winning the October Queensland election. Meanwhile, Rennick had hoped to remain on the Liberal National Party’s ticket ahead of a state council meeting at a three-day conference in Brisbane from Friday.He had launched an appeal after he narrowly lost a 2023 pre-selection ballot for third spot on the Queensland LNP’s senate ticket.He escalated the complaint to the Supreme Court in Brisbane but it was dismissed in June, with Justice Glenn Martin ruling Rennick had failed to lodge legal action in time.
