Queensland LNP members have called time on the 'father of the Senate' Ian Macdonald and fellow senator Barry O'Sullivan, dumping them from the top spots on the party's Upper House ticket.

The pre-selection is still taking place this afternoon in Brisbane, but it's understood both veterans will be replaced with political newcomers.

Senator Macdonald's 28-year career will come to an end at the next election, as will that of Senator O'Sullivan; who was appointed by the Queensland Parliament to the Senate seat vacated by Barnaby Joyce in 2014.

The Liberal National Party's executive and senior members voted to replace Senator Macdonald in the number one position with mining executive Paul Scarr, after earlier rejecting pre-selection bids by former Newman government minister Scott Emerson and tree lopper Brad Carswell.

Businesswoman Susan McDonald beat Senator O'Sullivan for the number two spot.

Senator Macdonald also lost a bid to survive via the difficult third place on the ballot, which would have offered only an outside chance at a Senate seat.

In recent years, Senator Macdonald opposed moves to scrap free flights for former parliamentarians and questioned whether there was enough racism in Australia to require the race discrimination commissioner.
