A former Newman government minister in his first term in office, David Crisafulli has had a meteoric rise through Queensland LNP ranks (The Liberal National Party of Queensland).

He is now being touted as a potential future leader of the party if rumours of a backroom plan to topple Deb Frecklington are true.
