The 2024 Queensland state election is scheduled to be held on 26 October 2024 to elect all members to the Legislative Assembly of Queensland pursuant to the Constitution (Fixed Term Parliament) Amendment Act 2015. As a result of the 2016 Queensland term length referendum, the term of the parliament will run for four years.[2][3]

The Labor government led by Premier Steven Miles will attempt to win a fourth consecutive term against the Liberal National Party opposition currently led by David Crisafulli. Katter's Australian Party and the Queensland Greens also hold seats in parliament, while other parties contesting the election include Pauline Hanson's One Nation and Legalise Cannabis Queensland,[4] as well as independents. Miles became premier after winning an ALP leadership vote in December 2023, replacing Annastacia Palaszczuk who resigned as party leader and premier after more than eight years in government.[5]

The 2024 election is the first in which both the Premier and Opposition Leader are men since the 2006 state election.

Electoral system

[edit]

Queensland has compulsory voting and uses full-preference instant-runoff voting for single-member electorates. The election will be conducted by the Electoral Commission of Queensland (ECQ). The party or coalition that wins the majority of seats (at least 47) will form the government. If no majority emerges then the party or coalition that is able to command the confidence of the Legislative Assembly will form government.

The party or coalition that wins the second highest number of seats forms the opposition, with the remaining parties and independents candidates being allocated to the cross bench.

The Queensland Parliament is the only unicameral state parliament in Australia, composed of the Legislative Assembly. The upper house, the Queensland Legislative Council was abolished in 1922.

Key dates

[edit]

The election will be for all 93 members of the Legislative Assembly. Pursuant to Constitution (Fixed Term Parliament) Amendment Act 2015 Queensland has fixed terms, with all elections following the 2020 election held every four years on the last Saturday of October.[6] The Governor may call an election earlier than scheduled if the Government does not maintain confidence, or the annual appropriation bill fails to pass.

  • Candidate nominations period – Wednesday 2 October to Tuesday 8 October 2024 at 12pm, local time.
  • Ballot paper order draw – Tuesday 8 October 2024 at 2.30pm.

Background

[edit]

After suffering a landslide defeat at the 2012 state election, the Labor Party achieved a 37-seat swing and returned to power in Queensland at the 2015 state election under the leadership of Annastacia Palaszczuk. Initially forming a minority government, they later won a majority at the 2017 state election, and further increased their number of seats in 2020 at an election overshadowed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Palaszczuk resigned as premier in December 2023 and was succeeded by her deputy Steven Miles.[8] On 16 March 2024, the first elections during his leadership, two by-elections, were held in Inala and Ipswich West.[9] Despite being held by safe margins of 28.2% and 14.3% respectively, a massive swing against the Labor party was recorded in both seats, resulting in the margin in Inala being cut by more than 20%, and the loss of Ipswich West to the LNP.[10]

Registered parties

[edit]

The following parties are registered with Queensland Electoral Commission:[11]

Campaign

[edit]

The LNP is campaigning heavily on four key issues, which it has labelled as crises: crime (particularly youth crime), cost-of-living, housing affordability and health. Crisafulli credited Labor's poor results at by-elections, held in March 2024, with voters' anger over Labor's handling of those key issues.[12] After what Miles described as a "very bad result" for Labor at the two state by-elections, he accused the LNP of "sensationalising and politicising" crime to win votes.[13]

Opinion polling and betting odds have the LNP as the firm favourites to win the election in a landslide, with Miles himself conceding that it was "very likely" that Labor would lose the election, whilst also criticising Crisafulli's "small target strategy" and claiming he had a lack of plans despite likely becoming the state's next Premier.[14] An opinion poll conducted by YouGov and released on 26 April 2024 saw Labor record a two-party-preferred vote of just 44%, while Miles had a net negative approval rating of –22%, marking the worst opinion poll result for a Queensland Premier in 20 years.[15]

In August 2024, Miles announced a policy of state-owned petrol stations,[16][17][18] while Crisafulli promised to re-introduce optional preferential voting, which was previously used in Queensland from 1992 to 2015, and is currently used at a state level in New South Wales and Tasmania.[19]

The lack of affordable rentals, and rent increases emerged as a major issue over the campaign. In Brisbane, median advertised rents increased by 49 per cent from the start of the COVID pandemic to December 2023.[20]

On 26 September Miles suggested Labor would consider introducing a cap of 10% on the amount rent can increase each year.[21] Miles subsequently came under pressure by property industry lobbyists to rule out the policy, with Queensland Greens MP, Amy MacMahon commenting “Make no mistake, the only reason Labor is finally considering something they’ve opposed for years is because they’re under massive pressure from the Greens this election,”.[22] Support for rent caps was expressed by social housing peak body Queensland Shelter.

A YouGov poll commissioned by the Queensland Greens published by Seven News on 2 October and the Courier Mail 3 October indicated 54% of Queenslanders polled supported rent increases being capped at 1% annually. With support by Labor voters at 60%, 44% of LNP voters, and 70% of Greens voters.[23]

A leaders debate was held on the 3rd of October broadcast by Channel 9, 4BC radio and the Brisbane Times.[24] An online reader poll with 64,000 votes conducted by the Brisbane Times declared opposition Leader David Crisafulli won the debate with 57% of the vote.[25]

Miles and Crisafulli ruled out introducing a rent cap during the leaders debate.[26]

Candidates

[edit]
Main article: Candidates of the 2024 Queensland state election

Crisafulli began announcing LNP candidates 18 months prior to the election, making the LNP the first party to formally endorse candidates for the election.[27] The LNP announced several other candidates afterwards. The second party to formally endorse a candidate was Katter's Australian Party (KAP), announcing their candidate for the Far North Queensland seat of Cook on 6 October 2023.[28]

Labor, the LNP, and the Greens have announced candidates in all 93 electorates.[29] Pauline Hanson announced 2 October her One Nation Party would also be contesting every seat.[30]

Preferences

[edit]

Candidates and parties may publish recommendations to voters on How-to-vote cards and other materials indicating how that candidate or party suggests a voter should order their ballot under the state's full-preference instant-runoff voting system. Voters must number every candidate on the ballot paper to cast a formal vote. A candidate or party cannot determine the order a vote is distributed for a voter. Preference deals refer to parties or candidates agreeing to order recommendations on each others how-to-vote materials that are favourable to the other.

In late 2023, it was reported in The Australian that Leader of the Opposition David Crisafulli considered preferencing the Greens over Labor at the upcoming state election.[31] Crisafulli told the newspaper: "Now, the same doesn't happen on the other side of the draw – the preferences on the right don't flow in the same way that the Greens' preferences flow to Labor," adding: "So it is a corrupt system... and I have a big concern about the prospect of a Labor–Greens coalition. They will say no deals... but they've said that before and they then broke the promise anyway. So I am deeply concerned by that."[31]

One Nation leader and federal Senator for Queensland, Pauline Hanson, confirmed in February 2024 that One Nation would preference the LNP over Labor in every seat, despite her reported distrust of both major parties.[32]

Retiring Labor MP and Attorney-General Yvette D’Ath claimed on 24 August the that the Greens were “happy to do deals” with the LNP to get more members elected to parliament. While Ms D’Ath issued a plea to voters to not replace Labor MPs with Greens members, she refused to concede that the polling showed a progressive swing among inner-city residents.[33] The Queensland Greens had previously ruled out doing any preference deal with the LNP in 2024.[34] Furthermore, on 1 October 2024, the LNP officially announced they would preference Labor over the Greens at the state election.[35]

Opinion polling

[edit]

In the lead-up to the state election, a number of polling companies are conducting regular opinion polls for various news organisations. These polls will collect data on parties' primary vote, and will contain an estimation of the two-party-preferred vote. They will also ask questions about the electorates' views on major party leaders.
