Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and local MP Leanne Donaldson did not need to travel far in their walk through the Bundaberg CBD today for signs the fight is on to retain the marginal seat.
Labor holds the seat of Bundaberg on a knife-edge margin of 0.5 per cent.
Ms Donaldson was forced to step down as agriculture minister last year after it was revealed she had not paid a council rates debt of $8,000.
As the press pack followed the pair along Bourbong Street there were mixed reactions from the public.
Traditional owner and local resident Julie Appo was one of the first to be greeted.
She said she viewed Ms Palaszczuk as someone she could trust.
"I think she's done well in the past and she takes a real interest in the people in the street," Ms Appo said.
But not everyone was impressed.
One man stopped the Premier to voice his concerns about health services.
Ms Palaszczuk took his name and number and said she would get back to him.
Another resident, Darryl Hampson, spoke with the Premier about flash flooding in the Bundaberg CBD.
He said he thought there would be a big swing towards One Nation in the seat this time around..
"You've got One Nation there but I think if they're going to vote One Nation, put Annastacia second on the card," he said.
