August 20 2005 saw Queenslanders go to the polls in two seats in by-elections in the southeast.
The resignations of Deputy Premier Terry Mackenroth and Speaker Ray Hollis triggered by-elections in the electorates of Chatsworth and Redcliffe on 20 August 2005. Both of the formerly safe Labor seats were lost and Liberal candidates Michael Caltabiano and Terry Rogers were elected as the new members for Chatsworth and Redcliffe respectively.
These by-elections did not change the balance of power in the Queensland Parliament, and the Beattie government continued until the 2006 election.
The 2006 election saw Labor regain both these seats.
