On this Saturday, the people of Queensland will be heading to the polls to decide which government will win the upcoming election.


Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk called the snap November 25 election last month after visiting acting Governor Chief Justice Catherine Holmes at Government House, sending voters to the polls two months early.

 Opposition leader for the Liberal National Party (LNP), Tim Nicholls, has been  campaigning for the position of Queensland’s Premier, currently held by the Labor Party’s Ms Palaszczuk.

 This election there are 93 seats in the Queensland Parliament, up from 89 and this is the first expansion Parliament has seen in 32 years.

 Both Labor and the LNP are going into the election with 41 seats and need 47 to form a majority government, with neither party getting enough votes during the last election to govern in their own right.
