Traffic woes on the Mount Lindesay Highway, infrastructure and economic recovery from COVID-19 dominated questions when Logan and Jordan candidates faced the public at a Jimboomba forum on Saturday.
Logan candidates Linus Power (Labor), Clinton Pattison (Liberals) and Liam Jenkinson (Greens) each got five minutes to speak before taking questions at the live-streamed forum at Jimboomba Community and District Hall.
Joining them was Jordan hopefuls Navdeep Singh from the Greens and One Nation's Neil Symes.
Labor's Jordan MP Charis Mullen did not attend.

Mr Power said he enjoyed the chance to speak to the voters.
"There were a lot of good questions from local people," he said.
"Although people ask tough questions, it is always good to hear from people directly, to provide frank, honest answers to their concerns."
About 50 people were at the forum, hosted by Logan Country Safe City group.
Chair Mathew Owens said more tuned in on the live stream, but technical problems crept in.
"It does look like it cut out, so we will re-post the stream on our Facebook page," he said.
"We were pleased with the turnout. And we were glad we were able to facilitate that with the pandemic.
"It was all under a COVID-safe plan."
Mr Owens said a lack of consultation between government and ratepayers was a big issue highlighted.
"Particularly around development like priority development areas," he said.
Former Jimboomba Toastmasters president Mike Goebel was the forum's emcee.
Meanwhile, Mr Power said he was not concerned about being drawn in last place on the Logan ballot.
One Nation's Peter Weber is in first place, followed by Sam Iskander from Clive Palmer's United Australia Party.
Then it's Mr Jenkinson, Mr Pattison and Mr Power.
"Every election is tough," Mr Power said.
"I'll continue to focus on creating jobs, keeping Queensland safe and fighting against LNP cuts."
