LNP and Labor make final pitches to voters with premiership in sight

A quintessential Queensland institution, democracy on display. “Here's to a fresh start for Queensland” “You ready, beautiful, can't change your mind.” A glowing review of the premier's ten months in charge. Albeit a bias one. “A privilege I think and an honour to watch the person I love my favourite person, do his best for Queenslanders, it’s been wonderful” Opposition leader David Crisafulli started his day in the only Gold Coast Labor-held seat of Gaven. “And if we get the chance, I would like the opportunity in 4 years’ time to earn your trust’ “Well, we'll see. We'll see what you do and really hope that you don't stuff it up, if you get in” The LNP needs a dozen seats to take government for the first time since 2015. Several Brisbane Labor seats like Cooper, here in Ashgrove, are under threat from a strong greens outfit. The government's challenge is to appeal to voters here in the capital, while retaining regional seats at risk of flipping to the LNP and Katter’s. “I think it's time for a change” “I like the fact that there was a thousand dollars off my electricity bill” “A change needs to happen and that's why people are going for the smaller parties like one nation and the Katter party” “I voted to keep steven miles he's, after the cyclones up here last year he was fantastic” Bundaberg is Queensland’s most marginal seat...held by Labor’s tom smith by just nine votes. “I think I changed onto the LNP, maybe they might do something” potential kingmaker Robbie Katter from Katter’s Australian party has threatened legal action over signage. “I’ve messaged Dave Crisafulli to take it down and he's chosen not to serious allegations also made in the marginal LNP seat of Currumbin.” “There's been intimidation, there's been all sorts of things and I'm going to be writing about it” Almost two million Queenslanders cast their ballot early.
