About Jeff Seeney

  • Jeffrey William Seeney (born 2 February 1957) is an Australian politician and the former Deputy Premier, Minister for State Development and Minister for Infrastructure and Planning of Queensland.
  • He was a member of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland from 1998 to 2017, representing Callide for the Nationals (1998–2008) and merged Liberal National Party (2008–2017). Seeney was Leader of the Opposition from September 2006 until January 2008 when he was ousted in favour of his predecessor, Lawrence Springborg.
  • In March 2011, successive leader John-Paul Langbroek stood down in favour of Brisbane Lord Mayor Campbell Newman.
  • Seeney was elected as deputy leader of the LNP, and became interim opposition leader while Newman led the LNP into the 2012 Queensland state election.
  • The LNP won a landslide victory at that election, and per a previous agreement Seeney ceded his post as LNP parliamentary leader to Newman, clearing the way for Newman to become Premier of Queensland. After the LNP lost power in the 2015 state election, Seeney moved to the backbench.
  • He retired at the 2017 state election.
