Pauline Hanson making bigger than expected run in Lockyer

One Nation's Pauline Hanson is having a bigger than expected impact in the seat of Lockyer.

With 77 per cent of the votes from Saturday's state election counted, Ms Hanson had 6974 primary votes (27.3 percent), ahead of Labor's Steve Leese (6366 or 24.93 per cent).

Sitting LNP Ian Rickuss was ahead with 8596 (33.65 percent), but had suffered a significant swing against him.

What do you think about Ms Hanson's potential return to politics? Let us know by leaving a comment below.

The two-candidate preferred breakdown on the Queensland Electoral Commission website has Ms Hanson ahead with 54.6 per cent compared to Mr Rikuss' 45.3, but that figure is based on only five of the 61 booths.

ABC's election analyst said Ms Hanson is leading on a swing of 18 per cent in those five booths.

Mr Rickuss went into the election with a margin of 18.8 per cent, making it a very safe LNP seat.

The Liberal and National parties have traditionally held the semi-rural seat between Ipswich and Toowoomba, but One Nation won the seat in the 1998 and 2001 elections.
