In summary, the Electoral Commission of Queensland on Friday declared all 93 seats - 48 for Labor, giving it a two-seat majority, 39 for the LNP, three for Katter's Australian Party, one independent, one One Nation and one Greens.

It will be the first to finally begin Brisbane's underground rail project, Cross River Rail, which has been mired in politics for a decade.

It includes Queensland's first Torres Strait Islander MP, Cynthia Lui from Thursday Island, who will represent the electorate of Cook, as Billy Cook resigned.

It includes its first South Sea Islander MP, where One Nation MP Stephen Andrew was elected to the seat of Mirani, near Mackay.

It includes Queensland's first elected Greens MP, Michael Berkman, who won the seat of Maiwar near Indooroopilly and leaves the Opposition with a bitter taste in its mouth with its treasury spokesman Scott Emerson losing his seat.

For the first time Katter's Australian Party now has three seats in regional Queensland and is now the third force in the Queensland Parliament, with stronger bargaining power.

If deputy opposition leader Deb Frecklington is elected Opposition Leader on Tuesday at a party-room meeting, it will be the first time the government and the opposition will both be led by women.

Controversy doesn't lend itself to winning elections.

Controversial Labor-turned-independent Cook MP Billy Gordon retired and it was won by Labor's Cynthia Lui, high-profile Cairns independent Rob Pyne lost his seat to Labor's regional tourism businessman Michael Healy and independent former Labor MP Rick Williams lost the seat of Pumicestone to the LNP's Simone Wilson.

Overall, the election was reduced to five things; tackling electricity costs, tackling Campbell Newman's legacy, deciding whether Adani's proposed Carmichael coal mine was a good thing or a bad thing, winning regional seats and juggling One Nation's preferences.

Winners

Annastacia Palaszczuk. As Labor's leader she is the first Australian woman to win office from Opposition and then held government.

The Greens. The Queensland Greens win in Maiwar reflects a strong grassroots campaign across the state, but mostly in Greater Brisbane. Labor will be nervous in South Brisbane.

Robbie Katter. His party ran a professional campaign in 10 seats and successfully targeted their policy strengths and geography.

One Nation. They won the third-biggest block of votes across the state: 13.7 per cent.

New government ministers. Some will rise; others will slide aside.

Labor's new cabinet will be announced on Tuesday.

Losers

LNP. The shadow benches lost plenty of talent this campaign, with Ian Walker (shadow justice and Attorney-General), Scott Emerson (treasury), Tarnya Smith (opposition science and innovation) and Andrew Cripps (opposition natural resources and mines) all losing the seats.

Tim Nicholls. The Opposition Leader worked and smiled hard in the LNP campaign, but was hamstrung by debate over One Nation preferences and couldn't break free. Policy work needed here.

Jim Pearce. Labor lost hard-working and long-serving Jim Pearce in Mirani, despite winning the most votes on first preferences. But the LNP preferences from third place pushed One Nation's Stephen Andrew (from second) over Mr Pearce.

Steve Dickson. The popular Buderim MP took the chance to switch from the LNP to become One Nation's state leader, but lost his seat to the LNP.

One Nation. Their campaign simply depends on Senator Pauline Hanson's curious "protectionist" pulling power - which draws votes, but many of its policies are ill-conceived. Policy work needed here.
