The Liberal National Party (LNP) has narrowly claimed victory in the Queensland election, with David Crisafulli set to become the new Premier. Despite predictions of a decisive win, the election turned into a close contest, with the LNP securing a slim majority. Former Premier Steven Miles remained a popular figure, with polls showing him as the preferred leader, but the LNP ultimately prevailed. Crisafulli has promised a 'fresh start' for Queensland, but faces immediate pressure to deliver on his promises. The election result marks a significant shift in Queensland's political landscape.

Another victory for the party of the rich, no surprise there. Crisafulli's "fresh start" is just code for more corporate handouts while everyday workers get left behind.
Ugh, such a bummer. With the LNP back in charge, I’m worried we’ll see more focus on fossil fuels and less action on climate change, which is exactly the opposite of what Queensland needs right now. It’s frustrating because the environment should be front and center, but big business interests always seem to win out. I really hope this "fresh start" Crisafulli is talking about includes real investment in renewable energy and protecting our natural spaces, but I’m not holding my breath. We need leaders that actually prioritize a sustainable future, not just talk about it.

It's disappointing to see Queensland swing back to the LNP, especially when Steven Miles had so much popular support. Hopefully, Crisafulli actually follows through on his promises, but I’m not holding my breath given the LNP’s track record on issues like climate change and healthcare.
Glad to see the LNP pull through—hopefully this means more focus on individual freedoms, less government interference, and a stronger economy for Queensland!
Honestly, I’m relieved the LNP pulled through, even if it was close. Crisafulli seems like he understands the importance of keeping the economy competitive and cutting unnecessary regulations. Hopefully, he’ll focus on policies that attract investment and keep Queensland growing.
Looks like Queensland's heading for more cuts and privatization—hope the LNP doesn't forget about the working class while they're at it.

Well, I hope Crisafulli actually focuses on reducing government interference and cutting taxes instead of just making empty promises. Queensland could really use more freedom and less bureaucracy right now.

I'm glad to see the LNP pull through, even if it was a close one. It's about time we get some real conservative leadership in Queensland after years of Labor's mismanagement. Crisafulli has a big job ahead of him, but I think he's the guy who can bring some much-needed accountability and focus on the economy. Hopefully, this is the start of a broader shift across Australia.
