Gerard Baden-Clay, husband of Allison, once touted as LNP MP

...Gerard was once favoured in the LNP ranks as a future member of parliament, touted by at least one federal MP as the "best candidate" in the Moggill electorate for the 2004 state election.

"I thought he was definitely a future state government minister," said former LNP member and federal Ryan MP Michael Johnson. "He has a very strong pro-business background and that is the DNA of the Liberal Party."

Mr Baden-Clay, 41, has focused on building his real estate business Century 21 Westside in past years, maintaining connections to high-profile identities including sitting Moggill MP Bruce Flegg.

He has been president of the Kenmore and District Chamber of Commerce since 2004 and been involved in the Brookfield State School P&C.

Mr Baden-Clay's affinity with the LNP is evident on social networking sites where he is "friends" with Federal Ryan MP Jane Prentice, former Cunningham MP and expelled LNP member Stuart Copeland, Premier Campbell Newman, former LNP leader John-Paul Langbroek, and federal deputy Opposition leader Julie Bishop.

Others in the party were aware of Mr Baden-Clay's strong community networks...

...Mr Johnson, who was disendorsed by the LNP in 2010, said he had met Mr Baden-Clay many times at public functions...

"I thought he was someone who could've taken over from (former Liberal leader) David Watson," Mr Johnson said.

Most likely a national voter, Bradley Murdoch probably voted national too

I find this thread quite distasteful.

His sister-in-law. But I don't think she was the relative who was implicated as an accomplice in the murders.

Gun nuts used to be liberal voters. Now they vote for the right-wing micro parties.

Liberal seems to still be the party for misogynists though.

There are uncanny similarities in history and character between Gerard Baden-Clay and the Mad Monk  ;). Scary  :-/

A lot of people don't know that Murdoch had a conviction for shooting at Aboriginal children. Most likely a coalition voter.
