Queensland Election Fight in Full Swing

Queensland is set to hit the polls late in October, with youth crime and cost of living high on the agenda.

Polls predict the Queensland Labor Party is set to lose to the opposition Liberal National Party after being in office since 2015, as residents are concerned about the economy, with anti-incumbency a rising issue.

Both major parties are having to navigate the “Queensland paradox” of balancing urban progressive voters in Brisbane with conservative rural voters in the regions.
