PAULINE Hanson’s One Nation has welcomed another defector from the LNP with former Logan MP ­Michael Pucci appointed as the resurgent party’s campaign director.

Mr Pucci – who was voted out in 2015 after one term in State Parliament – told The Courier-Mail that he resigned from the LNP via email over the weekend before starting work in his new role for One Nation yesterday.

He becomes the fourth LNP member to make the switch, following in the footsteps of Buderim MP Steve Dickson – who has been ­appointed state leader of One Nation, after defecting from the LNP earlier this month – and former MPs Sam Cox and Neil Symes.

Mr Pucci’s new role will mean that he will be driving One Nation’s campaign to win a swag of seats off both his ­former party and Labor at the looming Queensland state election, expected later this year.

“I don’t have any ill will ­towards the LNP,” Mr Pucci said. “It’s just that I think for me One Nation’s policies and how they are going about putting the people of Queensland first is something I thought that I could help with.”

His former campaign manager Sean Black, a former Logan councillor, works for One Nation Senator ­Malcolm Roberts.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk last night signalled that she would be taking her Cabinet roadshow across regional Queensland in the lead-up to the state election as she battles support for One Nation.

“We understand that ­families are doing it tough and it’s my job and my Cabinet’s job to listen to families first-hand, to understand their issues and to respond accordingly,” she said.

Her core team will spend a week governing the state from a regional centre.
