The Bjelke-Peterson name may be back on the ballot papers when the next Queensland election is held.

 

John Bjelke-Peterson, son of former premier Sir Joh, is seeking preselection for the Liberal-National Party in Nanango in the South Burnett, in south-east Queensland.

 

Mr Bjelke-Peterson stood for the Nationals in 2006, but was narrowly beaten by independent Member Dorothy Pratt.

 

He says he hopes having one of the most famous names in Queensland politics is an advantage.

 

"Certainly my parents have achieved a lot in their time in their services to the state," he said.

 

"I'd like to hope that the electors of Nanango will give me a chance to carry on what my parents have done."

 

 

 

 

 

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
