David Crisafulli to become new Premier of Queensland

Queensland's Liberal National party has claimed a narrow victory in the state election this weekend, ending nearly a decade of Labor power in the state. A record number of Queenslanders participated in the voting, with abortion, housing and youth crime the focus of the election.

In his victory speech, David Crisafulli vowed that he will act on his promise of tackling key issues such as youth crime.
