Gold Coast city councillor and planning boss Cameron Caldwell has won the Liberal Party's preselection battle for the federal seat of Fadden and will be the frontrunner when the northern Gold Coast electorate heads to the polls in July.
The by-election was sparked by the sudden retirement of controversial former Coalition minister Stuart Robert, who presided over the implementation of the Robodebt scheme, and has more recently been accused of helping lobbyist mates and their clients bid for lucrative government contracts.
