Queensland Labor has announced former Journalist and Broadcaster Patrick Condren as their candidate for Brisbane’s Lord Mayor in the March 2020 election.
Former candidate Rod Harding was dumped by the party on Saturday – leading Mr Condren to be chosen in the hope he will have better cut through with voters - and better Labor’s chances at winning back City Hall.
Mr Condren says he’s been disappointed by how badly Australia’s largest local government has been run by Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner and the LNP – saying if he wins the looming election he’ll ensure Brisbane residents will get more return on the money they spend on rates.
