Jackie Trad unseated in South Brisbane — a bruising election loss for a party high-flyer

Queensland's controversial former deputy premier Jackie Trad has lost her inner-city seat of South Brisbane in the state election.

"This result tonight in South Brisbane — we've also seen big swings in McConnel and Cooper — this sends a message to the political establishment that the time when mining corporations are able to dictate to our political system who gets what, is completely over," she said as supporters cheered her."We'll be fighting for things like 100 per cent publicly-owned clean energy, we'll be fighting for free public transport and housing.

"You will need to answer for every position Amy MacMahon takes, every position Amy MacMahon takes will be because you got her elected," Mr Miles said."The voters have made their choice and as you have rightly said, the primary vote is up for the Greens, not just there but in a number of seats, at the expense of the Labor Party," he said

She was never a chance when LNP preference Greens. The majority of the electorate voted Greens anyway. Labor still one with a majority so it doesn’t really matter. Liberals got rid of Trad but gave the ‘radical Greens’ as they call them another seat so jokes on them.

Replacing this odious little person with a Jonathan Siri clone? Inner city latte set really are wankers. Enjoy the roadblocks of protesters trying to get on TV.

...the Unions did this, it started with the property ordeal, and ended last night.

And all it took was significant focus from two parties and a smear campaign from the entire state MSM.

Well done sth Brisbane - a vote against corruption 👏🏻

Dan will give the corrupt POS a job. She'd be right at home.

The LNP was successful in their completely unfounded smear campaign against Jackie. Such a shame because she has a great deal still to offer Queenslanders.

Great news!

Some good came from the election then

You need to actually do something to retain your seat 😕

Good!

Karma 😁

Sorry for Jackie, big loss for the ALP, but congratulations must go to the Qld LNP for handing the Greens a couple of seats, they couldn't have done it without you, and big thanks for Scotty & Rupert trying to meddle, backfired nicely

Take out the trad....

One little glimmer of hope in 4 more years of shit

They come back to roost! Goodbye Jackie, you got what you deserved!

Hey why was there absolutely no diversity on your election coverage panel this evening? No POC, no LGBTIQA+, no youth? Step👏🏾it 👏🏾up 👏🏾 Your older white cis panel are problematic and does not represent Australia.

At the last election Trad had the opportunity to listen to the concerns of her constituents, instead she mocked and treated greens voters with contempt. It was not forgotten.

Sure she’ll be back

Some voters don’t like corruption

That’s a shame 🤔

A result of LNP preferences to the Greens. LNP engineering. I cannot thank them enough for supporting action for Climate Change. Well done LNP.

Deserved to fail

She is a disgrace.

Its blooody fabulous news that Jackie Trad has lost her seat!!!! Tradgate!!!!

Bittersweet for AnnastaciaMP id say. Jackie was a dead weight

A great result for the ALP, in the long term.

She bought a house, yet lost a seat - Kahlil Gibran.

Maybe lead with ‘Greens win...’? And maybe call them ‘Greens’ instead of ‘Other’?

ZSRenn Good riddance to this piece of garbage

The Trad got Trampled. Always look for any silver linings where possible.

🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵

Not a Surprise given the dodgy House buy.

Lol

I loved her brows!!!!

Some good news tonight then.

Maybe she shouldn't have backed Adani? byeJackie

Why would you have Amanda Stoker on the election panel? This is an MP who made a fake profile to troll her detractors and who trivialised a man's murder at the hands of police. No credibility.

‘ Deputy Premier Steven Miles said the LNP's decision to preference the Greens in South Brisbane meant 'electing a Green'.Libs owed Greens I guess federally in vote against Labor climate policy and ruining ALP with Brown’s run to Queensland in Fed election! auspol InsidersABC

She deserved no less...

What goes around....comes around!

Cleared of corruption but once the Courier Fail went after her, she didn’t stand a chance.

The people have spoken.

Jackie Trad hashad her time in the sun. Qldr's know she made the most of it. Time to get a real job Jackie, and let thos elected move Qld forward..

Fantastic.

Hooray

I feel for Jackie but Australia really needs to break the two-party cartel to get out of the hole it is in

oh well, at least I was able to orchestrate one win for the night! QLDvotes2020 MurdochRoyalCommission

Good riddance to rorting rubbish

A great pity.

😁 jackietrad will need to find a real job
