Queensland’s Liberal National Party (LNP) State Council members have backed several resolutions at their latest meeting including banning transgenders from single sex bathrooms, banning Australian flag burning, and phasing out payroll tax.

The State Council meets twice a year and is comprised of the heads of local branches, all state and federal MPs, and policy chairs. It is a smaller meeting compared to the State Convention.
