LNP names date for Senate replacement The Liberal National Party's replacement for outgoing Queensland Senator Barnaby Joyce will be decided in Mackay on May 25. LNP president Bruce McIver said nominations were now open. Mr McIver said he had full faith in the party's preselection process, despite the Newman state government losing four of its members since it came to power last year. The latest was Redcliffe MP Scott Driscoll, who resigned from the LNP yesterday. More to come.
