QLD ramping up for election, but no date set

Queensland’s major parties are obviously revving up for an election, but the state’s Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk is yet to announce a date for when we’ll head to the ballot box.

According to the Queensland Parliament website, the next state election must be held before Saturday 5 May 2018. But that hasn’t stopped both the Liberal National Party and Labor from launching short social-media advertisements attacking each other in preparation.

See the Tweets below.

The Liberals (@LNPQLD) tweeted:

Meanwhile, Labor (@QLDLabor) was asking:

LNP then fired back:
