Campbell Newman was elected Leader of the Liberal National Party of Queensland on 2 April 2011.[1] Because he was not a Member of Parliament, he cannot be Leader of the Opposition. As a result, Jeff Seeney was chosen as the party's parliamentary leader and serves as Opposition Leader. On 11 April 2011, Newman announced his Shadow Cabinet.
