The winners and losers from the Qld poll

THE NOTEABLE WINNERS AND LOSERS IN THE QUEENSLAND ELECTION

WINNERS

ANNASTACIA PALASZCZUK

Won the "David and Goliath battle" on a modest, policy-light campaign to be poised to become the second female premier in Queensland's history.

KATE JONES

The former Labor environment minister won back Ashgrove, gaining revenge on Campbell Newman and effectively ending the premier's political career.

JACKIE TRAD

Just one of seven Labor parliamentarians after the crushing 2012 election defeat, Trad looms as a leader of the future after being their most convincing shadow minister in the campaign.

BILLY GORDON AND LEEANNE ENOCH

Gordon, from the north Queensland electorate of Cook, and Enoch, in Brisbane's Algester, have become Queensland's first indigenous MPs since Eric Deeral was part of Joh Bjelke Petersen's Country Party victory in 1974.

SCOTT EMERSON OR TIM NICHOLLS

The transport minister comfortably held his safe seat of Indooroopilly to loom as the next LNP leader. Treasurer Tim Nicholls, touted as a premier in waiting last week, will be tarred by his privatisation plans.

LOSERS

CAMPBELL NEWMAN

The former Brisbane Lord Mayor becomes the first Queensland premier in 100 years to lose his seat. Newman says he won't be back.

JACK DEMPSEY

The police minister was rolled in Bundaberg, suffering a massive 22.4 per cent swing, ensuring his press conference struggles are over.

DAVID CRISAFULLI

Articulate, former Townsville councillor had been a young minister on the rise after winning the traditional ALP seat of Mundingburra in 2012 but was pipped by Labor's John Hathaway.

PAULINE HANSON

Not to be disgraced, pushing LNP incumbent Ian Rickuss in the Darling Downs seat of Lockyer, but it was the controversial One Nation leader's last chance at electoral success.

CLIVE PALMER

The Palmer United Party gained three MPs, and then lost them, during the Newman Government's term in power. Their zero return on Saturday means big Clive's party appears as dead as the dinosaurs at his Coolum resort.
