Abstract

The period saw mixed fortunes for a Palaszczuk Labor Government halfway through its third term. Despite soaring inflation and widely publicised crises in housing and youth crime, Queensland was the nation's second-best economic performer with an improved budget bottom line; this amid fierce controversy over a new land tax and increased coal royalties. But while the Government received bouquets for bold new renewable energy targets, it suffered brickbats for institutional handling of DNA evidence, and for police handling of domestic violence incidents. Ultimately, the official close of the state's pandemic emergency correlated with significant declines in the Premier's personal approval ratings. The year 2022 had indeed become a watershed in Queensland Labor's fortunes.
