The Labor Party has announced businessman Ray Smith as its Lord Mayoral candidate for the next Brisbane City Council election.
Mr Smith will take on incumbent Liberal National Party (LNP) Mayor Campbell Newman at the March 2012 poll.
Mr Smith is the chief executive of Brisbane post-production business Cutting Edge.
He says he will stand down from that job while campaigning.
Mr Smith says his opponent is plunging the city into debt.
"Campbell Newman's got a reckless plan for more tunnels and toll roads," he said.
"It's a plan for massive debt and it's a plan for skyrocketing rates and if we look at Clem7, we can see that it's no guarantee that it will even fix Brisbane's traffic congestion issues."
