Division of Longman preview 2018/19 plus by election preview

Today we are looking at the marginal seat of Longman around the Sunshine Coast Moreton bay and northern Brisbane first contested in 1996 with the seat being won by controversial mp mal Brough who was not a bad minister in the Howard goverenment before he lost the seat in 2007 when he had a brief run as liberal president where he unsuccessfully tried to stop the lnp merger in qld he than tried to undermine Peter slipper the member for the neighbouring seat of fisher which was successfully won by him in 2013 but his controversy didn’t stop and was forced to quit in 2016 in 2007 labor won the seat with John suilivan he lost in a historical contest in 2010 to austalais youngest mp Wyatt Roy he held it in 2013 but neither of them were controversy free suilivan went very Personel in 2010 and Wyatt Roy went to Iraq, lead the cue against Abbott and was involved in the slipper saga. He lost to another member who has seen her fair share of controversy Susan lamb who later resigned over citizenship forcing a by election in which she is in the fight of her life against a former state mp of the lnp less than 12 mounths from an election. The seat will be the one to watch on both occasions with nothing certain Susan lamb will get a symtphay vote and a hate vote which could make it close one nations preferences will play a roll in this election. The fact that the liberal candidate has failed to hold a seat before makes this a crazy contest.
