JPL TO STAY STATE MP

BEFORE the poll, your columnist asked Surfers Paradise MP John-Paul Langbroek about rumours that LNP members had asked him about running for mayor at the next election.

“I’ve been personally very concerned about what’s happened to (Mayor) Tom and Ruth (Tate). I’m glad they’re getting through their health concerns. If Tom Tate decided to go on, I know he hasn’t ruled that out, I’m confident he would win a third term,” he replied.
