An independent Queensland MP will refer Campbell Newman to the Queensland Electoral Commission over the Liberal National party’s commitment to only fund promised local projects, such as park upgrades, if the electorate votes for an LNP candidate. Peter Wellington has labelled the move “outrageous”, accusing the LNP of only governing for some Queenslanders. He is preparing to send a letter to the QEC on Tuesday alleging Newman has contravened the Electoral Act by “blackmailing” voters into voting for the LNP.
