Result still in balance

THE fate of Annastacia Palaszczuk’s tenuous grip on power will be decided by just a few thousand votes across the state.

With 11 seats hanging in the balance throughout Queensland, the result is split by about 4500 votes, with some seats having a margin between the two parties as low as 30 votes.

Aspley, Burdekin, Gaven, Maiwar, Cook and Townsville look set to go down to the wire, dragging out the process.

Young LNP gun Sam O’Connor continues to just hold out Labor candidate Rowan Holzberger in the new seat of Bonney by 200 votes.

The seat of Cook in north Queensland will come down to the last preferences with Labor and One Nation battling it out.

Labor candidate Cynthia Lui was last night leading but it is expected there will be a late push from One Nation due to preferences from the Katter Australian Party and the LNP.
