A charity has demanded a Queensland Liberal MP stop using a testimonial in promotional material, saying it did not consent to its use.

In a pamphlet titled What are locals really saying about Trevor Evans", the MP quotes from three charities - the Pyjama Foundation, Gingercloud Foundation and Arts Access - with the former two also quoted on his website.
