This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Queensland premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk, has announced her retirement from politics.
Palaszczuk will make the announcement at a press conference on Sunday following months of speculation about her future.
Her successor – currently a three-way contest between the deputy premier, Steven Miles, the health minister, Shannon Fentiman and treasurer Cameron Dick – is yet to be decided.
Palaszczuk said she made the decision while trying to find a time to take a break with her partner.

Palaszczuk was first elected as premier in 2015, leading Queensland Labor to a victory just one term after the party was reduced to just seven seats.
