Election Updates: Candidate nominations for the state election start today, with 3.7 million expected voters. Public feedback is welcome on a new waste management plan, and locals are encouraged to look for holiday retail jobs.
Today, candidate nominations open for the state election set for October 26, expecting about 3.7 million voters. Many voters, like Estrella, don't know major party leaders. Meanwhile, the Premier and Opposition Leader have not yet confirmed campaign visits to the Southwest. The LNP is leading three electorates, while the Lockyer Valley Council is seeking public feedback on a new waste management plan. Locals in South Bernat and Marinoa are urged to apply for Christmas retail jobs amid the cost of living crisis. In sports, Will Brown aims for the Repco Supercars Championship at the upcoming Bathurst 1000 race, having improved his lead after a recent victory.
Party leader won't rule out local visit
Both the Premier and Opposition Leader are unsure if they will tour the South West during their election campaign.
