Having been a member of the Jondaryan Divisional Board, Mackintosh, for the Ministerialists, represented the seat of Cambooya in the Queensland Legislative Assembly from 1899 until the seat was abolished in 1912.[1] He then moved to the new seat of Pittsworth and held the seat until he was defeated in 1915.[1]
