Hajnal Ban, the glamorous barrister and Logan City Councillor, has put her hand up as the LNP candidate for the new seat of Wright in the hinterland west of Logan out to Gatton.
And just when the LNP thought they were on a winner with Hajnal, it seems the ex-Liberal Member for Blair Cameron Thompson is planning to throw his hat into the ring for Wright as well.
Cameron knows he cannot possibly regain Blair from the ALP's Shayne Neumann after a very favourable redistribution for Shayne.
Cameron staked his political future at the last Federal election on his support for the discredited Goodna Bypass and for the abolition of workers' rights - and lost spectacularly!
Now, despite Paul Keating's assertion that a souffle never rises twice, Cameron is apparently considering the impossible - Phoenix rising from the ashes.
The LNP - despite its apparent unity - still comprises the former Liberal and National camps.
Hajnal is an ex-National and Cameron hails from the up-themselves, chardonnay-drinking Liberals who still think they were born to rule.
Ambition has never been one of Cameron's weaker points and he would do anything to stop a dyed-in-the-wool National winning the coveted seat of Wright - especially if it means winning the seat himself!
