Emerson's seat on knife edge: Labor

Labor believes it's within striking distance of claiming shadow treasurer Scott Emerson's inner-Brisbane seat, with internal polling showing a three per cent swing against the former Newman government minister.

Mr Emerson's old seat of Indooroopilly is now part of the new electorate of Maiwar, which he holds with a notional three per cent margin.

But Labor says its internal polling suggests that lead has vanished entirely, putting him neck and neck with the ALP's Ali King.

A ReachTEL poll last week showed the two candidates split at 50-50 on a two party preferred basis, though Labor claims its latest internal numbers put it slightly ahead in the seat.

LNP leader Tim Nicholls dismissed Labor's polling.

"Scott Emerson will win that seat," he told reporters.

Mr Emerson - who will today detail how the LNP will fund its election promises - says he's "confident" of being part of a new LNP government.

He said Labor, which is also due to release its costings, was focused on the wrong set of numbers.

The shadow treasurer is one of several high-profile MPs facing a battle to hold onto their seats, with Deputy Premier Jackie Trad facing a strong challenge from the Greens' Amy MacMahon.
