Queensland opposition leader David Crisafulli opens up about family and his bid to be premier ahead of election

ABC  

David Crisafulli is guarded and deeply private – especially when it comes to his wife Tegan and their two daughters. "If we see the young minister of 2014 tempered by 10 years of experience, we're going to get a really good premier," Mr Newman says of Mr Crisafulli. The government likes to remind voters that Mr Crisafulli sat around the Newman cabinet table – and routinely claims another LNP government would "cut, sack, and sell". Former Queensland premier and state Nationals leader Rob Borbidge says the partnership between Mr Crisafulli and new party president Lawrence Springborg has been "very effective". Mr Crisafulli's shadow health minister Ros Bates says she calls her leader the "energiser bunny".
