Deb Frecklington referred to election watchdog by own party

Queensland Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington has been referred to the state election watchdog by her own party.

The LNP referred Ms Frecklington over concerns a series of fundraising events could have violated laws aimed at curbing the political influence of property developers.

One LNP dinner in August resulted in $28,800 being donated.

This comes just weeks before Queensland heads to the polls on October 31, where Ms Frecklington is hoping to beat Annastacia Palaszczuk to become the state's Premier.
