Clive must be celebrating the demise of Newman, like the rest of Qld, well! the sensible ones that voted him out anyway.

Commiserations Aquascoot, your treasured ex leader won't become Prime Minister after all and as they say.....this is progress.

This is another blinding historical moment for Queensland.. AND australian politics as well.

Annastacia Palaczszuk, through one of those amazing moments in History.. which burgeon change, has achieved the unthinkable . Joy oh joy

WELL DONE people of Queensland. I feel proud, now, to count myself among you.

Correct on the 'Cabinet' point. 8/14 is a majority.

Umm so

THIS IS a FIRST in AUSTRALIAN HISTORY.

First ever State Government Cabinet with a female majority!!.

I AM correct aren't I Aussie.? Funny how no -one wants to acknowledge this particularly.

This is big time history making stuff.

The pressure on Palaszczuk and her government will be enormous.

Just look at what the PM Julia Gillard had to contend with.. ! The abuse by the then oppos like Abbott and Hockey and Co was despicable.. a real time example of the ethics of politics.. and so so anti-women.

The only woman Abbott has in his team is Bishop. Well,, so maybe he added one or two since his debacle of a response to a Spill, not sure.. its irrelevant .

Go QLD Labor. !!!!!!!!!... .

Palaszczuk got her cabinet sorted out quickly so it looks like she's not a ditherer, straight onto the job at hand, no fuss, no problems.

As far as the debt goes, Queenslanders won't worry about debt, 'she'll be right mate' is the motto up here, besides the whole country is in debt and it aint going nowhere for the next few decades.

Steady s she goes, no barnacles, don't rock the boat like Newman did and she should sail along nicely for a couple of terms.

Go Anastacia!!!

Good propaganda, Comrade. We also need to build another desal plant and purchase land for dams that never get built. This will help our utopia to emerge quicker.

Aaaah!!!! Contrary to earlier reports, the Qld Electoral Commission will not refer the Ferny Grove (taken by Labor from the LNP....in which the PUP candidate was ineligible) situation to the Supreme Court. Smart decision, given precedent. However, that does not prevent the LNP taking it to Court, but if they lose (as precedent says they will) they pay the costs.

All over............except for the possibility of a missing heart beat among 45 people for the next three years.

"Goodbye Campbel Newman, goodbye." Clive sends his very best wishes to you and your arrogant 'born to rule' mentality drop kick mates.

Ch 9 has just reported that the LNP will not refer Ferny Grove to the Court. How predictable, and yet how bloody stupid were LNP Party Heavy Bruce MvIver and the schmedia in suggesting it was a real possibility.

Really! Bloody wunkers!!!!

It looks like we might save the reef......woohoo!!!!!

Anastacia Palaszczuk will do the things that 'can-do' Campbell Newman didn't do.

Imagine in just five or ten years time we might have a healthy, flourishing GBR......whew!!!! that was close, another three years of LNP sludge would have been the end of it.

............................................................

I have really exciting news: Queensland now has a Minister for the Great Barrier Reef.

When Steven Miles was sworn in yesterday as the new Queensland Environment Minister, he also became the first Minister to have the Great Barrier Reef in his job title.

Your work fighting to protect our natural treasure has helped elevate this issue so much that the government have appointed a Minister for the Reef! Well done!

Now its time to put words into action. Minister Miles and the new Queensland Government have a strong set of commitments to act on including:

1. A ban on sea-based disposal of dredge spoil in the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area;
2. A commitment to achieve an 80% reduction in pollution run-off into the Great Barrier Reef by 2025;
3. Reinstating key legal safeguards for the Reef – including protection of bushland, coastal protections and water reform;
4. Providing an additional $100 million over five years towards water quality initiatives, scientific research and better environmental practices in the primary production and fishing industries;
5. No dumping of dredge spoil on the fragile Caley Valley wetlands at Abbot Point; and
6. Protection of the Fitzroy Delta near Rockhampton
