Peter Dowling. He would not elaborate but it is believed to be associated with alleged perjury brief currently being considered by the DPP. Deputy Premier Jeff Seeney, who attended the meeting on behalf of Premier Campbell Newman who is still on leave, thanked Dr Flegg for his service to the Liberal National Party. Dr Flegg took to Twitter to voice his disappointment on Friday afternoon.

Mr McIver said Dr Flegg was a "very loyal member of the party". "He is still a member of the party and has served the people of Moggill very, very well," he said. Mr Seeney agreed. "I think Bruce Flegg has been a loyal member of our team for many years and we will continue to work with him until next election and he will continue to be part of our team until the next election," he said. "...Obviously this would be a disappointment for him, but this is a decision that's been made by representatives of our members right across Queensland.

"They weighed up a number of issues in each case and they have made their decision and we respect their right to make that decision." EARLIER It is D-Day for three LNP MPs who have been accused of bringing the party into disrepute. Redlands MP Peter Dowling and former ministers Ros Bates and Bruce Flegg have been called before the LNP executive to explain why they deserve to stand for pre-selection in their respective seats. Mr Dowling appeared and left first.

He departed the Spring Hill headquarters less than two hours later, looking unhappy and without speaking to waiting media. But he managed to answer the taxi driver's pleasantry with a "good morning" and told him he was "good" before departing. Formerly the chair of powerful parliamentary ethics committee, Mr Dowling was forced to resign from that position after photos he sent his mistress emerged in the media. The photos, which earned the MP the nickname "plonker", were said to have severely embarrassed the LNP. About a dozen people have nominated for Redlands - a seat Mr Dowling has held since the March 2009 election.

Mudgeeraba MP Ms Bates resigned as arts minister due to "ill heath" in early 2013 following months of controversy regarding her dealings with lobbyists and her family. She was forced to apologise to parliament twice, after she "unintentionally" misled it, regarding her status as a registered nurse and claims that she did not ask for help in finding a job for her son within the government. Ms Bates, who was elected as the Member for Mudgeeraba at the 2009 election, arrived just after 11am. She departed about 2.15pm.. The Member for Moggill, Bruce Flegg, was forced to resign in late 2012 over discrepancies regarding his lobbyist register. At the time, Dr Flegg referred to it as "sloppy administration" but still stepped down.

He was also the subject of an investigation regarding the so-called "Flegg tapes" and possible perjury charges which may emerge from the discovery of the tapes. A brief has been handed to the Director of Public Prosecutions, but it is yet to make any decision on whether it will move forward with the case. Dr Flegg arrived at LNP headquarters about 1.30pm on Friday. He left with a shrug and a "we'll see". "We don't have an outcome at the moment. "We'll just have to wait and see but I don't expect it be long," Dr Flegg said.

Former Australian Medical Association Queensland president Christian Rowan is understood to have nominated for the seat of of Moggill, which one of the safest Liberal National Party electorates. Dr Flegg joined parliament at the 2004 election. Dr Flegg, Ms Bates, and Mr Dowling Each branch is responsible for its own pre-selection, but the party does have the power to vet people, a power it has taken more seriously since questions regarding former Redcliffe MP Scott Driscoll's business dealings became public. Their seats were some of the last to be opened for pre-selection.
