Liberal-National Party leader Tim Nicholls says documents obtained under Right to Information law demonstrate the links between the Queensland Government and unions. He has accused the state branch of the Australian Labor Party of being "owned" by unions in the wake of revelations that Energy Minister Mark Bailey communicated with Electrical Trades Union official Peter Simpson via a personal email account during the union’s wage negotiations with a state-owned energy utility.

The growing unrest within the Liberal-National Party of Queensland regarding its reduced representation in federal cabinet has prompted dissidents to push for a separate party-room in Canberra. The LNP has also proposed to negotiate its own coalition agreement with the Liberal Party of Australia. The state executive has rejected the motion by a margin of just four votes. A split between the National Party of Australia and the LNP would reduce the former’s party-room from 22 members to 14.
