Brisbane’s Labor Councillors have called for Calamvale ward councillor Angela Owen to repay any council wages she received during her unsuccessful running for the federal seat of Moreton.

Councillor Owen took a leave of absence from council after being endorsed by the LNP to run against current Moreton MP Graham Perrett.

Councillor Owen says she was “open, and transparent” about her intentions to take leave, and still fulfilled council commitments.
