Here come the culture wars: can Queensland’s LNP resist wading into the ideological mire?

Queensland's Liberal National Party (LNP) is navigating challenges despite a 2024 election victory, with internal conflicts over adult time laws and culture wars damaging its unity. The party's new leader praised recent achievements but faces internal divisions and external backlash, including removing an Indigenous author's grant due to social media comments. The LNP now struggles to retain older strongholds and must adapt to more progressive contests in Brisbane and Ryan, which may shift towards Labor or Greens. While the win marks a turning point, long-term sustainability remains uncertain as ideological divisions and cultural conflicts erode trust.
