Police called to state Labor MP’s home night after Queensland election
Police were called to the home of Labor state MP Jimmy Sullivan the night after the Queensland state election.
Police were called to the home of Labor MP Jimmy Sullivan the night after the Queensland state election.
The 42-year-old former lawyer, who retained his Brisbane seat of Stafford despite a swing against him, was not arrested or charged.
A number of Mr Sullivan’s Labor colleagues have told The Australian they have been growing increasingly worried about him and “his relationship with alcohol”.
It was understood his Right-faction colleagues were speculating about his political future on Tuesday.
In a statement, a Queensland Police Service spokesman confirmed officers “responded” to an incident at Kedron at around 9:15pm on Sunday, October 27, and spoke with “all parties involved”.
“There is no further information we can provide at this time”.
When contacted by The Australian, Mr Sullivan confirmed that police had “come to my home” but he would not disclose any further details.
Last week, The Australian was contacted about Mr Sullivan and his alleged “erratic behaviour” on the pre-poll voting booths.
At the time, the ALP denied the allegations.
Mr Sullivan was chief of staff to former attorney-general Yvette D’Ath before he was elected to parliament in 2020.
