Davis disagreed with his own government on changes to electoral rules, chiefly the raising of the donation declaration limits to political parties from $1000 to $12,400.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Along with the implementation of public health doctors contracts and changes to the Crime and Misconduct Commission (CMC), it was the third clash he&#8217;d had over issues with Premier Campbell Newman. The previous week he&#8217;d been sacked as Assistant Health Minister.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Davis was the second MP to resign from Parliament and the fifth MP to leave the LNP under Newman&#8217;s leadership.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For more on how it happened, see <a title=\"Newman Government changes electoral rules and loses a MP\" href=\"http:\/\/nofibs.com.au\/2014\/05\/25\/newman-government-changes-electoral-rules-and-loses-a-mp-qldaah-analysis-qldpol\">&#8220;Newman Government changes electoral rules and loses a MP&#8221;<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>To follow the Twitter stream, see<a class=\"twitter-timeline\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%23StaffordVotes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Tweets about &#8220;#StaffordVotes&#8221;<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Party and Margin: Liberal National 7.1 pc.\u00a0<a title=\"@AntonyGreenABC\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AntonyGreenABC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Antony Green:<\/a> <a title=\"2014 Stafford by-election\" href=\"http:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/elections\/qld\/2014\/stafford\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8220;2014 Stafford by-election profile is now up.&#8221;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Jared John Andersen has told radio <a class=\"ProfileHeaderCard-screennameLink u-linkComplex js-nav\" title=\"@NewsTalk4BC\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsTalk4BC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@<span class=\"u-linkComplex-target\">NewsTalk4BC,<\/span><\/a>&#8220;I go by Bob as a preferred name.&#8221; Listen back: <a title=\"What\u2019s in a name?\" href=\"http:\/\/www.4bc.com.au\/blogs\/2014-4bc-drive-audio-blog\/whats-in-a-name\/20140609-39sus.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8220;What\u2019s in a name?&#8221;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><em>NoFibs <\/em>report; <a title=\"They call me Bob \u2013 Follow the mystery trail on the LNP candidate for #StaffordVotes\" href=\"http:\/\/nofibs.com.au\/2014\/06\/06\/they-call-me-bob-follow-the-mystery-trail-on-the-lnp-candidate-for-staffordvotes-qldaah-qldpol\">&#8220;They call me Bob \u2013 Follow the mystery trail on the LNP candidate for #StaffordVotes&#8221;<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Electoral Commission Queensland information for the <a title=\"Electoral Commission Qld Stafford by-election.\" href=\"http:\/\/ecq.qld.gov.au\/2014stateByElections.aspx?id=11545\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stafford by-election.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Electoral Commission Queensland&#8217;s <a title=\"Election Timetable : 2014 Stafford By-Election\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ecq.qld.gov.au\/elections\/state\/Stafford2014\/timetable.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">election timetable for Stafford by-election.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6 class=\"twitter-timeline\"><a title=\"Have your say\" href=\"#HaveYourSay\">(Jump to comments section)<\/a><\/h6>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff\">.<\/span><a name=\"BlogJump\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>(July 20, 2014) Labor wins Stafford with 18.6 percent swing<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Stafford won by Labor with a swing of 18.6pc on a two candidate preferred basis. <a title=\"@Lynham4Stafford\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Lynham4Stafford\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dr Anthony Lynham<\/a> secured 13,841 votes, 61.5pc of the vote.
