  • Comment:

    At the 2019 election, the Liberal National Party polled 2.72 quotas, while Labor polled only 1.58 quotas - Labor's worst result in any state, and not enough to elect two Senators. The LNP will almost certainly win three seats, but Labor will need to improve its vote if it is retain its two seats. The Greens polled 0.70 quotas in 2019, which will be enough to elect a Senator if repeated in 2022. One Nation polled 0.78 quotas, which when combined with Pauline Hanson's high personal profile should be enough to get her re-elected. Former Nationals MP George Christensen will be on her ticket.

    With its vote squeezed from both right and left, Labor may again fail two seats, although recent polling suggests that Labor's position may have improved. Senator Anthony Chisholm is in the hot seat, since the Left's Murray Watt gets the top spot.

    In May 2021 the LNP decided the ballot order would be McGrath (Lib), Canavan (Nat) and Stoker (Lib). The lead Greens candidate is Penny Allman-Payne, a Gladstone teacher. Former Queensland premier Campbell Newman will run for the Liberal Democrats. In January 2022 Clive Palmer, mining magnate and former one-term MP, announced that he would run as the United Australia Party candidate. Palmer also ran in 2019 and polled 3.5%.
