Premiership of David Crisafulli
The premiership of David Crisafulli began on 28 October 2024 when he was sworn in as Premier of Queensland following his Liberal National party winning the 2024 Queensland state election. Like in the Northern Territory just weeks prior, the Coalition affiliate in the state of Queensland — the LNP, won a reasonably large majority in parliament. The premiership of David Crisafulli is but one of three Liberal-National coalition-run governments in Australia, up from just Tasmania before August 2024. The election of Crisafulli's government was the first time the LNP had won government in Queensland since the extensive landslide in the 2012 Queensland state election.
During Crisafulli's election campaign, he prioritised four main issues — namely crime, health, cost of living and housing. Early in his premiership, he took executive action to permanently cancel the Pioneer Burdekin hydro plant development, with an aim to reduce the government expenditure, as well as find alternative clean-energy solutions. Crisafulli has opted to halt development of new stadia for the 2032 Brisbane Summer Olympics, in favour of upgrading other stadiums at a cheaper cost. In the role of premier, Crisafulli has reappointed various government department directors-general and commissioners, including former Labor politician and director-general for Premier and Cabinet, Mike Kaiser. In other appointments during his current term, Crisafulli will likely appoint at least 4 new justices of the Queensland Supreme Court, due to a number reaching the mandatory retirement age. Crisafulli will also nominate a successor of the current Governor of Queensland to the King of Australia for consideration later in his term due to the current governor's term ending by convention in 2026. Crisafulli's legislative agenda has so far been crime-based, with his controversial Making Queensland Safer Laws passing the parliament on 12 December 2024. The aforementioned laws have been criticised by numerous organisations, including Amnesty International, due to an alleged violation of humanitarianism. In the legislative realm, Crisafulli has also taken executive action to halt the parliamentary and independent inquiries into truth-telling and treaty following the results of the 2023 Indigenous Voice Referendum, as well as the inquiry into youth crime. Crisafulli has described himself as a centrist, and aligns with the moderate faction of the Liberal National Party of Queensland.
The 2024 Queensland state election was held on 26 October 2024. Polls prior to the election held that the chance of a Liberal-National party landslide was a probability. It is widely believed that Crisafulli's ambiguity on the issue of abortion caused polls to narrow before the election. Regardless of the poll narrowing, Crisafulli led the LNP to victory in the election, securing 52 of the 93 seats in the unicameral Parliament of Queensland. The Liberal-National party's win in the 2024 election secured the first LNP government since Campbell Newman won in a greatly-extensive landslide after the 2012 Queensland state election.
In Australia's eight self-governing states and territories, only 3 are currently under the control of a Liberal-National coalition affiliate government. Between the 2023 New South Wales state election and the electoral landslide victory of Coalition affiliate the Country Liberal Party in the Northern Territory in August 2024, Tasmania was the country's only Coalition government — albeit in a fracturing minority supported by independents.
Prior to the 2024 election, the LNP ran a 4-pronged campaign which was styled as the "Right Plan for Queensland".
Crisafulli campaigned on youth crime as a major part of his election bid. He pledged $40 million towards 4 'early intervention schools' to target youth at risk of committing crime. He also committed $50 million towards the opening of 'reset camps' for young people likely to commit crime, which was criticised by his Labor colleagues as 'power overreach' and 'abusive'.
The Crisafulli led LNP pledged $590 million towards an Easier Access to Health Services Plan which was highlighted by the following promises:
The LNP unveiled their Saving you Paying Plan during the election, which was alleged would ease cost of living pressures. This plan included building more regional roads, increasing housing supply, and providing 'water security' to food producers. The LNP also vowed to stop the Pioneer Burdekin pumped-hydro plant which is said to cost around $24 billion AUD. Crisafulli alleges that this plant would increase electricity cost throughout Queensland, and instead aims to build smaller hydro and renewable energy projects at a lower cost.
