FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The seat has been held by LNP MP Howard Hobbs for 25 years.
Labor and Bob Katter’s Australian Party will also contest the seat.
Charleville-based Mr O’Brien says the LNP has taken Warrego for granted.
“I’m sure when they sit down in Brisbane at party headquarters – and this is both parties – and decide about where they’re going to put their resources and their effort, they would say, ‘well, the LNP own that seat’, and my view is the electors own it,” he said.
“At the moment I think the political dynamic is way too focused on south-east Queensland.
“That’s been reflected by decisions that have been made, particularly by the LNP, over the last little while of taking our representatives off the frontbench and putting them on the backbench.”
But Mr Hobbs says he has never taken the electorate for granted nor has the LNP neglected regional areas.
“There is such a strong mood out there to do away with the present State Labor Government and the polling indicates that very strongly,” he said.
“Playing or fiddling with independents or other minor parties is only going to ensure that this Labor Government may stay in.
“I will be fighting as hard as I can to ensure that people get a change in Queensland.
“No-one ever stays forever, but at the end of the day – what we have to do at the present moment is make sure that we have some people with experience.
“The LNP does have a lot of new members down there – we do need people with experience as well.
“If you are going to go and build a house, you wouldn’t get a lot of apprentices to build it – you need some experience there as well.”
A political analyst says the introduction of a high-profile independent will make the state seat of Warrego one to watch on election night.
The Murweh mayor Mark O’Brien has announced he’ll contest the seat that’s been held by the LNP’s Howard Hobbs for 25 years.
Associate professor Geoff Cockfield from the University of Southern Queensland says Mr Hobbs is vulnerable to independents.
“Even though it’s been held for the last three elections pretty comfortably; in 2009 independent Wally Gleeson got sixteen percent, but in 2001 Wally also almost won that seat; then it was really neck and neck and down to a handful of votes,” he explained.
