ALMOST a decade after winning and retaining the seat Currumbin MP Jann Stuckey has become part of the Queensland Government.

A swing at time of publication of 13.2% after preferences has gained the LNP 70% of the electorate's 21,068 votes.

State-wide it is the most comprehensive win in Queensland's political history, and one long-awaited by Ms Stuckey.

"I am happy," she said about 9am (Qld) today.  "But a little delirious.

"It's difficult to grasp the enormity of what's happened.

"The need for change was there and these results happen from time-to-time.

"It's just a pity it doesn't happen in council a bit more."

Campbell Newman's strengths, plans and policies were what achieved the stunning rout against Labor, she said.

"What it means is we can clean up the mess.

"The people of Currumbin have always had a strong voice, and I am still going to be that strong voice."

Infrastructure tied to the 2018 Commonwealth Games will be Ms Stuckey's priorities going forward.

And she hopes to remove the "shadow" from her Shadow Minister for Tourism Manufacturing and Small Business title.

"It's up to Campbell," Ms Stuckey said.

"Obviously I'd be thrilled to serve as a minister under him, but we've got a lot of good talent coming though."

Katter's Australian Party candidate Steve Bowman described his seven per cent of the vote as a "launching pad".

"As a first effort for a brand-new party, I'm pretty satisfied with the result," he said.

"It's probably about what I was expecting, and we put together the best campaign we could on a local level."

Mr Bowman said Ms Stuckey's leadership of the electorate would be watched closely over the next three years.

"If she continues to do very little for the electorate she's going to be in trouble in three years.

"I'm worried about what the LNP are going to do in the next three years - they will run amok.

"They will do a lot of damage, especially in rural areas, and hopefully it won't be hushed up."

The first-time candidate learned a "massive amount" about the electorate, politics and his own abilities during the campaign.

"I've met some wonderful people and talked to some fantastic community groups - a couple of which I'm going to join, such as the Friends of Currumbin.

"Two seats are better than none - though not as good as five - and it's a real launching pad for the party."

Labor candidate Calum Hyslop did not respond to My Daily News and The Greens' David Wyatt was unreachable.
