Queensland Election: Major Parties Neck and Neck in Final Hours

As Queenslanders head to the polls, the race between Labor and the Liberal National Party remains too close to call, with key issues like youth crime and cost of living at the forefront.

  • Labor's Steven Miles and LNP's David Crisafulli make final appeals to voters, focusing on contrasting visions for Queensland's future.
  • The election could result in a minority government, with both parties refusing to make deals with the crossbench, including the Greens and Katter's Australian Party
  • Key campaign issues include youth crime, health system pressures, and cost-of-living challenges, with both parties proposing similar economic measures but differing on social policies.
  • The LNP has faced internal challenges over abortion law stances, impacting their campaign amid Labor's strategic focus on cost-of-living relief measures.
  • With a federal election looming, the outcome of this state election could set the tone for broader political dynamics in Australia.
