Queensland’s only “voices of” candidate has leapfrogged One Nation and Labor to poll second in the seat of Groom after preferences – despite winning just 8.26% of the primary vote – in a result election analyst Antony Green describes as “startling”.
On the primary vote, independent Suzie Holt finished fourth in the Liberal National party-held seat. But Holt has surged into second spot with 42.89% of the two-candidate preferred vote due to preference flows.
