Episode Synopsis

Queensland has spoken, and by the looks of it the electorate has returned a Labor government. However, because this election took place in the midst of a pandemic, an unprecedented number of postal votes has yet to be counted. Even so, the ABC has called the election for the ALP, though it is unclear whether the party can form government in its own right or will have to rely on Green support. In this episode I give listeners a quick rundown of the results and share my passion for Queensland political history.
