It was all good news for ETU Members who stood with Shane King being re-elected following a 7.6% swing to him in Kurwongbah, Lance McCallum doubled his margin in Bundamba making it once again one of the state's safest Labor seats, Kim Richards held off all challengers in marginal Redlands increasing her margin to around 4% and Chris Whiting scored a 6.5% Swing to him in Bancroft. For Chris Johnson in Coomera the result is in doubt with Chris achieving a 2.5% swing on election night leaving him just behind the LNP incumbent with around 25% still to be counted.
