Two senior Brisbane LNP councillors have announced they won’t contest the next election less than one year away, in the latest political shakeup of City Hall.
The latest announcement in particular, from 16-year inner-west representative Peter Matic, has the potential to open the seat up for the Greens taking.
Both follow recent shuffling of new Labor and Greens councillors into two other wards, under rules allowing replacements by political parties – rather than byelections – within a year of the next election, with more to come. “This is not a decision I have made lightly,” he said. “Personally, it is time for new challenges and the opportunity to contribute in other ways.”
