Longman – Australia 2025

LNP 3.1%

Incumbent MP
Terry Young, since 2019.

Geography
Moreton Bay region of Queensland. Longman covers the former Caboolture Shire and parts of the former Pine Rivers shire. The main towns in the seat are Caboolture, Morayfield, Burpengary and Narangba. The seat also covers a majority of Bribie Island.

History
Longman was created for the 1996 election. It was first won by Mal Brough. Brough held the seat from 1996 until 2007, during which time Brough served as a minister from 2001 and joined the Howard cabinet in 2006.

Brough was defeated in 2007 in one of the nation’s largest swings against a Coalition MP, with a 10.3% swing giving the seat to the ALP’s Jon Sullivan. Sullivan was previously the state member for Caboolture for nine years before losing to the One Nation candidate in 1998.

In 2010, Jon Sullivan was defeated by Liberal National candidate Wyatt Roy. Roy was elected at the age of 20 in 2010, and is the youngest ever member of the House of Representatives. Roy was elected to a second term in 2013. Roy lost in 2016 to Labor candidate Susan Lamb.

Lamb was forced to resign from parliament in early 2018 due to her late citizenship renunciation in 2016, but she was re-elected at the resulting by-election.

Lamb’s by-election success was not repeated in 2019, when she lost to Liberal National candidate Terry Young. Young was re-elected in 2022.

    Longman is a marginal LNP seat that could be in play if Labor’s support in Queensland picks up.

    1. I. Am campaigning solely for the Senate. In fact there is not one House candddidte. That I. come close to supporting. It comes close to just eliminating the worst and working backwards
      Therefore my order was
      1 Family First Co ( however I hate their anti Christian economic policies
      2 LNP just ahead of ALP
      3 ALP
      4 Trumpet of Patriots
      5 One Nation ( if Roberts were standing on his own I would put him first but handing Hanson more money puts PHON down bottom. The unsubstantiated gossip that Roberts will once elected resign and be replaced by another PHON member eliminates Roberts from
      A higher position.
      And 6 Greens last. It takes A Com, Trotskyite or Uniformed NAZI to dislodge Greens from last spot.
