    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Steven Miles will be the next premier of Queensland after Health Minister Shannon Fentiman withdrew her candidacy for the job.

    Ms Fentiman announced yesterday that she would contest the leadership, but confirmed her withdrawal in a statement this morning.

    Ms Fentiman said now was the time for unity, and for Labor to focus on retaining government at next year’s election.

    “There is so much at stake for our great state, and Queenslanders cannot afford an LNP government of cuts and chaos,” she said.

    Mr Miles said his priorities would be health, housing, cost of living, the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, infrastructure and energy.

    Annastacia Palaszczuk made the shock announcement to resign on Sunday, nearly a year out from what would have been her fourth state election.
