David Crisafulli says his priority is to lead a “fresh start” government that would end the LNP’s second-term curse. Steven Miles wants to stare him down from opposition.

Crisafulli said his priority was to lead a “fresh start” government that would end the LNP’s second-term curse. No conservative government has been re-elected in Queensland since 1986.

Pressed on whether his shadow cabinet would ultimately be sworn into those same portfolios, Crisafulli said he wanted to speak with his would-be ministers before making a public statement. Miles, meanwhile, visited the Governor on Sunday morning to tender his resignation as premier, which will come into effect when Crisafulli gets sworn in.

“I’ll remain the leader of the party until at least that point in time and I would like to – if they choose to support me – I would like to stay on as Labor’s leader beyond then, but ultimately that is a decision for them,” he said.Shannon Fentiman, who abandoned her tilt for the leadership after Annastacia Palaszczuk’s resignation last December, has ruled out a challenge, as has deputy leader Cameron Dick.
