Liberal National Party leader Campbell Newman has returned fire in a political tussle over election preference deals, demanding Premier Anna Bligh rule out a deal with the Greens.
Yesterday Ms Bligh took a swipe at her election rival, accusing Mr Newman of flirting with the prospect of swapping preferences with the newly re-registered One Nation Party.
Ruling out such a deal, Mr Newman tried today to turn the heat back onto Ms Bligh over a potential preferences deal between Labor and the Greens at the next state election.
The Greens attracted 8.37 per cent of the vote at the 2009 state election and, in a preference deal, encouraged voters in 14 of the 89 seats to nominate Labor as their second choice.
