Frecklington was appointed to the LNP front bench as Shadow Minister for Agriculture following the LNP’s defeat in 2015. In 2016, she was elected unopposed as deputy leader of the LNP—and hence Deputy Leader of the Opposition—after Tim Nicholls ousted Lawrence Springborg as a leader.
Leader of the LNP
Deb Frecklington was elected the leader of the LNP at a party-room meeting on 12 December 2017 after Nicholls led the party to a loss in the 2017 state election.
Frecklington secured 25 votes out of a possible 39 in the first round of voting. Former leader John-Paul Langbroek received 10 votes while outsider Mark Robinson received three votes, and there was one informal vote.
She became only the second female Queensland Opposition Leader in history, and the first woman to lead the non-Labor side in Queensland. She is also the second LNP leader from a long-held National seat; Nanango was the seat of former long-serving National Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen, who held it and its successor seat, Barambah, from 1947 to 1987.
Frecklington took the LNP into the 2020 Queensland state election. The LNP was heavily defeated, suffering a five-seat swing and winning only five seats in Brisbane. Frecklington initially indicated she would stay on as leader, but on 2 November announced she would call a leadership spill which she would not contest.
On 12 November, David Crisafulli was elected leader. Soon afterward, Deb Frecklington became Shadow Minister for Water and Shadow Minister for Regional Development in Crisafulli’s shadow cabinet.
