Luke went on to run a successful family business and found himself frustrated by the blatant lies and union mongering of the Labor Party and wanted to make a real difference for families and businesses in the community that he called home. In 2004, Luke decided to run for politics in the Labor-held stronghold of Sandgate against sitting MP Gordon Nuttall. While unsuccessful, he produced a swing to the Liberal Party.
