The Morrison government says it will “rip up and redraw” Brisbane’s flight paths in an election-eve promise which could impact four marginal seats, three of which are held by the Liberal National party.

Brisbane’s federal member, Trevor Evans, made the announcement on Monday alongside his counterpart in the seat of Ryan and the LNP’s candidate for the Labor-held seat of Griffith.
