Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has won a third term in office, declaring victory for her party and entering the history books as a Labor legend after being rewarded by voters for her handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Labor leader is set to form a majority government, with the ABC’s election computer predicting the ALP to win 52 seats, to the LNP’s 34.
During the almost month-long campaign, Ms. Palaszczuk campaigned strongly on her Government’s handling of the pandemic, and in her speech, she acknowledged the toll the COVID-19 crisis has had on the state.
This will be Labor’s first four-year fixed term in power.
It means Ms Palaszczuk will be the longest-serving Australian female head of government by mid-2021 and the longest-serving Labor premier in the state since World War II by mid-2024.
But she has already made history by becoming the first woman to win three elections in Australian history.
