Greens hot on the heels of the LNP in Brisbane seat as Canavan's misstep could prove costly

Candidates for the hotly contested federal electorate of Brisbane faced a barrage of questions covering aged care, corruption and, most heatedly, climate change during a town hall debate last night.Incumbent Trevor Evans says he'll have to win on first preferences in the tight race

Five of the seven candidates for Brisbane attended the debate, however, One Nation's candidate, Trevor Hold, and the Liberal Democratic Party's Anthony Bull were both notably absent. An impassioned attendee asked incumbent LNP member Trevor Evans to explain how the country's aged care crisis came to be and asked other candidates how they planned to rectify the situation.Another asked whether any party had concrete plans to address housing affordability in the electorate.

Mr Evans said he would have to win the seat on his primary vote, as Labor and the Greens exchange preferences for the seat."In the same way in previous elections, both Labor and the Greens consider this to be one of their target seats, they also exchange preferences in a pretty strong way."

How about focusing on the cause of the massive rise in the cost of living first 🤔 and ways to prevent the heartache it has caused to all walks of life 😕

Trevor Evans is the invisible man in this electorate, only turns up at election time.
