John-Paul Langbroek Biography

John-Paul Langbroek is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on January 31, 1961 in Assen, Drenthe, Netherlands. Langbroek was born in Assen in the Netherlands. His sister, the Melbourne- based media star Kate Langbroek, grew up as the sole two children of the Jehovah’s witnesses. The family moved to Australia around mid-June 1961, a mere few months following his birth. The family traveled throughout the countryside of Queensland in Queensland, where Langbroek Sr. was employed at different schools.

As an MP, he worked in the shadow ministerial for a few years. He was a shadow minister in various portfolios, including health mines, public works, and energy. Prior to his elevation to the top government, he served as shadow minister in the Ministry of Education and Skills and Shadow Minister for the Arts since the 12th of August.

Langbroek was elected leader of the LNP following the 2009 state election after the LNP’s first leader, Lawrence Springborg, announced his retirement. Langbroek named Springborg as his deputy. Langbroek’s election marked the first time in 84 years that the non-Labor side in Queensland had been led by someone aligned federally with the Liberals or their predecessors. The Nationals have historically been the stronger non-Labor party in the state, and had been the dominant partner in the non-Labor Coalition from 1925 until the formation of the LNP in 2008.

On 22 March 2011, Newman announced he would be seeking pre-selection for the seat of Ashgrove, and would challenge for the LNP leadership if successful. Later that day, Langbroek and Springborg announced their resignations as leader and deputy leader, respectively. While a February poll showed the LNP with 55 percent two-party support—enough to make Langbroek premier—internal Coalition polling suggested that under Newman, the LNP would win government “in a canter”. As late as the previous day, Langbroek had insisted that he would not resign, and even demanded that McIver and the rest of the organisational wing either back down from their attempts to push him out or resign themselves. He appeared to have the support of most of the party room as well. However, within hours of Newman’s announcement, Langbroek gave way.

Langbroek began his political career in 2001, when he ran in the Liberal candidate in the by-election held in May 2001 in Surfers Paradise. The by- election was spurred due to the demise of the former member who was the ex- National Party Premier Rob Borbidge who had had led his Coalition to a massive loss in its general elections in the year 2001. Because of the anger of voters at having to go to the polls again in the space of three months and the National turnout fell to 8 percent. This resulted in Langbroek not enough backing he required to defeat Gold Coast councillor and former mayor Lex Bell, who won the seat in an independent. Langbroek was back at Surfers Paradise at the 2004 state election, and was able to win easily, with Bell getting pushed to third position. Langbroek has held the seat well since then and, as of the 2017 election, he has the majority of 19.8 percent, which makes Surfers Paradise the safest LNP seat in the chamber.

John-Paul Honore Langbroek (born 31 January 1961) is an Australian politician who was an elected part of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland representing the center-right Liberal Party and its successor the center-right Liberal National Party, in the seat of Surfers Paradise since 2004. He was the Leader of the Opposition and the parliamentary chairman for the LNP from 2009 to 2011, the first member from the Liberal part that was part of the merger take on the office. He was Minister during the Newman government prior to its demise in the state election of 2015.

He graduated in 1983, and then departed for London where the couple met Stacey.

Polling for much of 2009 and 2010 showed the LNP ahead of Labor on the two- party vote, and Langbroek consistently led incumbent Labor Premier Anna Bligh as preferred premier. However, after Labor’s numbers rebounded in the wake of the Queensland floods, Langbroek came under growing pressure from the LNP’s organisational wing to stand down. According to Nine News Queensland’s Spencer Jolly, LNP president Bruce McIver was trying to engineer a by-election to get Brisbane Lord Mayor Campbell Newman, also from the Liberal side of the merger, elected to the legislature so Newman could challenge Langbroek for the LNP leadership.
