Labor has almost certainly won the 47 seats it needs to form majority government in Queensland, the ABC's veteran election analyst Antony Green says.

Mr Green has called the Gold Coast hinterland seat of Gaven for Labor, the final seat Annastacia Palaszczuk needs to govern without crossbench support.

The election expert added that there was still an outside chance that independent candidate Hetty Johnston could snatch the seat of Macalister, south of Brisbane, from Labor despite being currently in third place.

But Mr Green believes that's unlikely.

An LNP spokesman was unmoved by Mr Green's forecast.
