Former Queensland MP Kate Jones will nominate for
preselection in Premier Campbell Newman's Brisbane seat of Ashgrove
ahead of the next state election.
Ms Jones held the seat from 2006 to 2012, when she lost it to Mr Newman.There had been ongoing speculation that Ms Jones would return to politics and contest the seat.
Earlier this month, the ALP's Queensland branch registered the domain name katejones.com.au.
This morning a senior Labor Party source confirmed Ms Jones would nominate for preselection.
Mr Newman holds Ashgrove with a 5.7 per cent margin but recent polls indicated a significant swing against the Premier.
A spokesman for Mr Newman said he was focusing on delivering solutions to the issues that matter to Queenslanders while Labor is recycling candidates.
