The Liberal National Party has secured a narrow majority in Queensland, with Labor confirming Premier Steven Miles has conceded defeat.
Liberal National Party Queensland leader David Crisafulli has wasted little time after the party claimed victory in state elections and ended Labor's nine-year reign. The LNP has narrowly formed a majority government, ending the night with 48 seats — one more than the 47 needed for a majority. Crisafulli summoned senior staff at Queensland parliament on Sunday morning after a 7.30am call from Labor's outgoing Labor premier Steven Miles to concede defeat.
"This election finishes with many more questions about the LNP's plans than answers." Miles' deputy Cameron Dick said Labor would try to rebuild after losing for just the second time in 13 Queensland elections. "I think we'll let the dust settle," he told ABC TV. "We need to have a good look at ourselves, that's the truth. We need to reflect.
