From antisemitism summit to no net zero: What LNP members want from government
LNP members have called for the Queensland government to a phase-out pokies, commission an inquiry probing a long-term public transport strategy beyond the 2032 Games and revoke policies nudging public servants toward union membership.
These motions and 160 more are among the issues put up for debate by party members and have made the list of resolutions able to be hashed out in the open session of the party's annual convention from Friday.
Others, directed at the Crisafulli government and a future federal Coalition government, include abandoning net zero, relaxing native vegetation-clearing laws, an antisemitism summit and action on 'gender ideology'.
Why it matters
Over three days, grassroots members from LNP branches across the state, along with party officials and elected representatives, will gather in Brisbane for the 2025 convention.
While the positions taken by the convention are not binding on the parliamentary arm, this year's gathering will be the first in a decade under a state LNP government with power to act on them.

Albanese won 94 seats at the election. Now voters want to give him even more
Anthony Albanese's honeymoon with voters after his election victory is showing no signs of ending as support for Labor climbs to its highest level in two years, with voters believing the government is focused on the right issues. But the Resolve Political Monitor shows the situation has not got worse for Liberal leader Sussan Ley with voters ranking her the most likable of any MP, while her deputy, Ted O'Brien, is quickly proving to be an asset for the Coalition. The poll of 1800 people, conducted exclusively for this masthead, showed support for Labor has climbed by two points over the past month to 37 per cent – the highest level since just before the Voice referendum in October 2023, and 2.5 points up on what it secured at the May election. The Coalition's primary vote was steady at 29 per cent, while support for the Greens was also unchanged at 12 per cent. The higher primary vote for Labor came out of minor parties, apart from One Nation, which at 9 per cent is now almost three points up on its federal election result. On a two-party preferred basis, Labor has widened its lead over the Coalition to 59-41, its strongest result since April 2023 and a four-point increase on May. If it was repeated nationally at an election, Labor would actually enjoy an increase on the record 94 seats it won at the federal election, taking Coalition-held electorates such as Longman in Queensland, La Trobe in Victoria and Forrest in Western Australia. Resolve Strategic director Jim Reed said Labor was 'sitting pretty' with its enlarged primary and two-party preferred vote, and while the Coalition had not gone any further backwards it was 'not making any headway yet'. But he said Albanese, despite the strong overall showing, was continuing to struggle on a personal front while Ley was doing relatively well.
