One Nation won 11 seats in the 1998 election in Queensland, and the party aims to field candidates in at least 60 seats at the next state poll. The party’s state and national secretary, Jim Savage, stresses that One Nation will only contest seats if it can field goods candidate, and he says it has held talks with some former Liberal-National Party MPs who lost their seats at the last election. However, he adds that no sitting L-NP MPs have been approached about defecting.

Morgan Poll Update – Page: Online : 1-Feb-15

The final SMS Queensland State Morgan Poll conducted in mid-January 2015 showed the Liberal-National Party (50.5 per cent) with a slight two-party preferred advantage over the Australian Labor Party (49.5 per cent). This was the closest result of all major polls conducted for the state election. The Galaxy, Newspoll and ReachTEL polls conducted in the last week all predicted a clear LNP majority of 52 per cent per cent, compared with 48 per cent for the ALP. Roy Morgan Research executive chairman Gary Morgan says the SMS State Morgan Polls correctly predicted the close election results in Victoria in 2014 and Queensland in 2015

Queensland’s unemployment rate has fallen from 7.1 per cent in October 2014 to 6.9 per cent, although the jobless rate remains higher than most of the other Australian states. The employment outlook may be a key issue for the 2015 state election, particularly in towns and regions with high jobless rates. Towns that support the mining industry have been hard hit by the downturn in the resources boom, with many "fly-in, fly-out" workers losing their jobs
