Townsville’s teams

Team Jenny Hill

Mayor Jenny Hill, who has been in council since 1998, is seeking a third term as top dog of Walker St.

The defection of Cr Paul Jacob (Div 2) from the team last year and the retirement of Cr Verena Coombe (Div 6) and Cr Colleen Doyle (Div 9) has meant the introduction of three new entrants hoping to help Mayor Hill keep her absolute majority in the chamber.

Townsville North Queensland State Alliance

Helmed by mayoral candidate Chris Eastaughffe, the Townsville North Queensland State Alliance council team is a mixed bag of six other hopefuls ranging from an archaeologist who once ran for Clive Palmer’s party in the state election to a swim teacher and a world-record holding powerlifter.

The NQSA, which as an organisation ultimately wants a state referendum into whether it would be feasible and desirable to turn North Queensland into a separate state, is also running a team in Cairns, headed by former United Australia Party candidate Jen Sackley.

The alliance argues a separate North Queensland state would be better off economically, provide growth and opportunity and decentralisation that allows for better local decisions which is the ethos that the Townsville council team will lean on, according to Mr Eastaughffe.

It’s Time for Townsville

Led by mayoral candidate Greg Dowling, the It’s Time for Townsville has hopefuls contesting five divisions. Candidates range from an osteopath, to Clive Palmer’s nephew, to a nurse.

Mr Dowling’s team will have a significant campaign war chest behind them, with Mr Palmer’s Mineralogy so far donating about $505,000, including the largest single donation in Queensland’s electoral history.
