Amanda Stoker targets Christian right in hopes of retaining Queensland Senate seat

But it is typical of the way Stoker is fighting to retain her seat, narrowcasting to rightwing Christian causes and voters flirting with fringe parties, in a campaign that puts her (from the No 3 spot on the ticket) front and centre of view.

One of those was a spend of between $3,500 and $4,000 to promote a Facebook post from 5 May, which showed her speaking at an anti-abortion rally in Brisbane.

The Australian Christian Lobby, in an interview with Stoker, also urged people of faith to vote below the line.

Dr Glenn Kefford, a political scientist at the University of Queensland, says the LNP will almost certainly win two Senate seats meaning James McGrath and Matt Canavan, who are in the top spots on the ticket, will be elected.

Kefford said the strategy was similar to the one employed by the Tasmanian senator Eric Abetz, who finds himself at risk and is encouraging people to vote for him below the line.

Stoker has spent more than $20,000 on her most recent advertisement on Facebook, seeking to link Labor to the Greens in a bid to bring rightwing voters flirting with minor parties back into the tent.

Stoker did not respond to questions from Guardian Australia about her campaign.
