ALP’s leaning for bikie
LABOR has preferenced a Rebels bikie – who claims to have been instrumental in their 2015 election win – ahead of the LNP.
Voters in the ALP-held seat of Pine Rivers will be asked to place Rebels life member and former bikie boss Mick Kosenko third, behind the Greens, according to newly released how-to-vote cards.
Mr Kosenko has recommended his voters place ALP incumbent Nikki Boyd third, behind another independent.
He said he owed Ms Boyd a lot for helping him reclaim the tattoo shop licence stripped from him by the LNP Government and has previously claimed the bikie community got Labor elected through a concerted campaign against Campbell Newman.
Candidates began handing out their how-to-vote cards yesterday as pre-polling began.
