    I think her government’s greatest achievements were:

    • legislating abortion
    • legalising euthanasia
    • raising the coal royalties
    • lots of solar farms in the pipeline

    I think climate change generally and youth justice were two areas not enough has been done.

      Climate change work for a Labor government in Queensland must be a minefield though

    I look forward to not knowing the name of her successor. looking back it was kind of weird knowing the state premiers names, now at least i have no idea who WA, Vic and now QLD are

    edit: to be clear this isnt anti or pro Anna

      I think any political leader that wavers on that question of whether they want to be leader or not would be savagely attacked.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The Queensland premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk, has announced her retirement from politics.

    Palaszczuk will make the announcement at a press conference on Sunday following months of speculation about her future.

    Her successor – currently a three-way contest between the deputy premier, Steven Miles, the health minister, Shannon Fentiman and treasurer Cameron Dick – is yet to be decided.

    Palaszczuk said she made the decision while trying to find a time to take a break with her partner.

    “When I led this party from an opposition of just seven members, I said that first election would be like climbing Mt Everest.

    Palaszczuk was first elected as premier in 2015, leading Queensland Labor to a victory just one term after the party was reduced to just seven seats.

    Oh fucking boho. A politician gets burnt because they no longer have the backing of the party, then when they can’t manipulate the public to back them, they announce their resignation while giving only crocodile tears and claiming their reasons are for a need of personal time.

    Wow, what a truly strong and inspiring person. 🙄
