Queensland Electorate Shake-Up | Brisbane News

Queensland’s electoral map is getting a major overhaul as the Redistribution Commission axed two seats—Stretton and Hill—while carving out two new ones: Springfield and Caboolture, to balance voter numbers amid booming south-eastern growth. North Queensland’s MP Shane Knuth slammed the move as a “political hit job,” arguing the region’s loss is unjust. The commission defended the changes, citing logistical challenges in representing vast northern areas. Plus, 17 electorates are getting fresh names to better reflect their locations—so expect a new look on your ballot by 2028. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
