Queensland’s 3.16 million voters go to the polls on Saturday, 25 November to decide if incumbent Labor premier Annastacia Palaszczuk will be returned after one term of minority government or if it will swing back to the Liberal National Party (LNP) led by Tim Nicholls.

The Pauline Hanson / One Nation factor could decide the outcome of the 2017 State General Election. If, as expected, there is a tight result dependent on preference flows, it could be weeks before a new government is declared. 

And that's not all:

  • Queensland’s most multicultural seat is Stretton, in the south-east of Brisbane, where half the population was born overseas. Stretton has traditionally been held by the government of the day for the past two decades.
  • The Greens could secure their first ever seat in Queensland by ousting incumbent deputy premier Jackie Trad through a backlash over Labor’s support for the Adani mine.
