Queensland Labor raises concerns over controversial non-judicial member appointment
The Government has appointed John Sosso as a non-judicial member of the body that determines the state’s new electoral boundaries.
The appointment has raised concerns around voting bias due to the members history of working for the LNP, which has promoted Tony Fitzgerald to get involved.
Shadow Treasurer Shannon Fentiman told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, “He [Tony Fitzgerald] has said in writing previously that he really thinks this individual is susceptible to influence.”
“So I think David Christopher needs to listen because if it calls into question the whole next election, I think Queenslanders should be, quite rightly, really concerned about where this government is taking Queensland,” Mrs. Fentiman said.
