Premier before election

Steven Miles
Labor

Subsequent Premier

David Crisafulli
Liberal National

The incumbent Labor government, led by Premier Steven Miles, tried to win a fourth term in government. However, they were defeated by the Liberal National Party (LNP) opposition, led by Opposition Leader David Crisafulli.

Labor held onto a lot of seats in Greater Brisbane, but lost lots of votes and seats to the LNP in cities like Townsville in North Queensland. The Greens tried to win a few inner-city seats from Labor after their success in inner-city Brisbane at the 2022 federal election, but they were not able to and actually did worse than they did in 2020.

Big issues in the election included crime, cost of living, healthcare and abortion. Abortion became an election issue because Katter's Australian Party (KAP) wanted to make it illegal again.

  1. 1.0 1.1 Labor lost the seat of Ipswich West to the LNP at a by-election in 2024, increasing the LNP's seat total to 35 and decreasing Labor's seat total to 51.
  2. MP for Mirani Stephen Andrew left One Nation after being disendorsed, and joined the KAP shortly thereafter.
