"She backs my title defence and I back hers," he told the crowd at the Gold Coast Convention Centre.
Ms Palaszczuk will be looking to deliver a knockout blow to Opposition Leader Tim Nicholls in the final round of the campaign, which culminates on November 25.She has outlined many of her government's achievements, especially in regional Queensland, in her speech at the launch.
The premier again warned against against a LNP/One Nation government, saying "now is not the time to lurch backwards."
