He had previously narrowly lost a contest against veteran independent Liz Cunningham for the state seat of Gladstone at the 2006 Queensland state election.

Trevor ran a campaign tying Cunningham to the federal government's unpopular WorkChoices industrial relations laws, that while he narrowly lost, resulted in Cunningham's closest race since her initial election, 51.2% to 48%.
