The LNP's fight to regain the seat of Beaudesert has hit a major road-bump with the resignation of a senior party member.
LNP chairman for the Christmas Creek/Tamrookum branch George Andrew said he could not, "in good conscience", remain a party member after recent events including a "bungled pre-selection process" and "intentionally deceitful" actions over coal seam gas.
"Many LNP members of local branches are unhappy over the bungled preselection process which has left Beaudesert with a candidate (Jon Krause) who lives in Brisbane who is completely out of touch with the local issues," Mr Andrew said.
"The LNP is being intentionally deceitful about the party's position on coal seam gas mining in the Scenic Rim Region.
"I was present at the Beaudesert branch meeting in February when the LNP's Beaudesert campaign manager told the Beaudesert branch chairman that LNP headquarters were insisting that no debate would be allowed on a motion before the branch aimed at protecting the Scenic Rim Region against CSG mining."
