"
And whether the LNP stand their own candidates in the respective seats"
Greenhart LNP? So you're talking about QLD only and I'm not from there so can I ask are there some inner-city Brisbane seats that the LNP don't usually run candidates in at the Fed. Elections or state elections?
Or did you mean the NP, the National Party?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
Liberal National Party of Queensland (
LNP) is a
conservative political party in
Queensland, Australia. It was formed in 2008 by a merger of the Queensland divisions of the
Liberal Party of Australia and the
National Party of Australia. At a federal level and in most other states the two parties remain distinct and operate as a more or less permanent
Coalition. The LNP is a full member (i.e. affiliated branch) of the Liberal Party, and has observer status within the National Party.

After suffering defeat at its first election in
2009 the LNP won government for the first time at the
2012 election, winning 78 out of 89
seats, a record majority in the
unicameral Parliament of Queensland.
Campbell Newman became the first LNP
Premier of Queensland. The Newman Government was subsequently defeated by the opposition
Labor Party at the
2015 election
