I think her government’s greatest achievements were:
- legislating abortion
- legalising euthanasia
- raising the coal royalties
- lots of solar farms in the pipeline
I think climate change generally and youth justice were two areas not enough has been done.
Climate change work for a Labor government in Queensland must be a minefield though
I look forward to not knowing the name of her successor. looking back it was kind of weird knowing the state premiers names, now at least i have no idea who WA, Vic and now QLD are
edit: to be clear this isnt anti or pro Anna

Hang on. This was from 5 days ago:
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk takes on the federal government, Brisbane council, in lead up to state election
What's going on here
I think any political leader that wavers on that question of whether they want to be leader or not would be savagely attacked.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Queensland premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk, has announced her retirement from politics.
Palaszczuk will make the announcement at a press conference on Sunday following months of speculation about her future.
Her successor – currently a three-way contest between the deputy premier, Steven Miles, the health minister, Shannon Fentiman and treasurer Cameron Dick – is yet to be decided.
Palaszczuk said she made the decision while trying to find a time to take a break with her partner.
“When I led this party from an opposition of just seven members, I said that first election would be like climbing Mt Everest.
Palaszczuk was first elected as premier in 2015, leading Queensland Labor to a victory just one term after the party was reduced to just seven seats.
