Queensland election: Labor ahead but no clear result at end of poll night vote count

ABC  

The result of the Queensland election remains in doubt, with neither Labor nor the Liberal National Party close to a majority by the end of counting on Saturday night. Labor looks the more likely of the two major parties to form government, but ABC election analyst Antony Green said there was "a high probability" the ALP would not win the 47 seats needed for a majority. "Will Annastacia Palaszczuk and Labor keep their word that they will do no deals with the One Nation Party, no deals with Katter, no deals with Independents, no deals with minor parties?" One Nation without a state leader One Nation convert Steve Dickson lost his bid to win the Sunshine Coast seat of Buderim, leaving the party without a Queensland leader. 'One Nation can win seats' Shortly before voting closed, One Nation founder Pauline Hanson told Channel Seven she believed her party could win a number of seats.
