I think her government’s greatest achievements were:

  • legislating abortion
  • legalising euthanasia
  • raising the coal royalties
  • lots of solar farms in the pipeline

I think climate change generally and youth justice were two areas not enough has been done.

Climate change work for a Labor government in Queensland must be a minefield though

I look forward to not knowing the name of her successor. looking back it was kind of weird knowing the state premiers names, now at least i have no idea who WA, Vic and now QLD are

edit: to be clear this isnt anti or pro Anna

No one's going to mention the pay bump approved 2 days ago? https://aussie.zone/post/4774393

Hang on. This was from 5 days ago:

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk takes on the federal government, Brisbane council, in lead up to state election

What's going on here

I think any political leader that wavers on that question of whether they want to be leader or not would be savagely attacked.

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.

“When I led this party from an opposition of just seven members, I said that first election would be like climbing Mt Everest.

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.
