Labor has sunk the boot in to Wyatt Roy, saying the LNP rising star faces losing his seat because he was too interested in the glitz and glamour of politics and neglected his electorate.
Mr Roy is trailing Labor's Susan Lamb in his seat of Longman after suffering a massive 8.4 per cent swing against him, which is three times the average swing against the LNP in Queensland.
With more than 82 per cent of the vote counted, Ms Lamb has 51.5 per cent of the two party preferred vote and has claimed victory in the seat, located north of Brisbane, though Mr Roy has refused to concede defeat.
Mr Roy became Australia's youngest ever parliamentarian after winning the seat in the 2010 election and was a key supporter of Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, who appointed him Assistant Minister for Innovation after wining the leadership in September.
But Labor senator Murray Watt on Sunday claimed the rising LNP star had been too focused on furthering his career and had neglected his electorate.
"Wyatt seemed to be much keener on the glitz and glamour of politics, on being, you know, assistant innovation minister, that kind of thing, when his electorate was suffering from high unemployment, concerned about cuts to health and education and I think Labor's message connected a lot better with the voters there," he told ABC 24.
