    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.

    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.
