Poll Call: Polling Day, Saturday January 31

Thanks for joining us for this special edition of Poll Call.

The vote count will continue tomorrow so visit our main site for updates on the result and its fall-out.

Our full election coverage is here.

Here are casualties left, right and centre in the LNP.

Premier Campbell Newman has conceded defeat, Police Minister Jack Dempsey is in deep trouble after a 24 per cent swing in Bundaberg and Local Government Minister David Crisafulli has all but conceded defeat in Mundingburra despite being ahead narrowly on primary votes.

A host of assistant ministers are also likely to be unseated.

Across the aisle there are plenty of winners as several former members look likely to return to parliament.

Losers

Premier Campbell Newman

He made history by parachuting in from outside parliament to lead the LNP to a crushing victory in 2012 and made history again on Saturday as the first Premier

Jack Dempsey

The Police Minister is tipped to lose Bundaberg comfortably to Labor's Leanne Donaldson. He was one of the minister's withdrawn from public view as part of Operation Boring.

David Crisafulli

The Local Government Minister says he faces an "uphill battle" in Mundingburra and the ABC's Antony Green is tipping Labor's Coralee O'Rourke to unseat him..

Ian Walker

The Minister for Science, Information Technology, Innovation and the Arts' seat of Mansfield is going down to the wire but he's ahead so far.

Assistant ministers Saxon Rice (Mount Coot-tha), Seath Holswich (Pine Rivers), Gavin King (Cairns), and Robert Cavallucci (Brisbane Central) and Lisa France (Pumicestone) all look likely to lose their seats. It's tight in Mount Ommaney for Tarnya Smith but Antony Green is predicting she will be safe.

Winners

But on the other side of the fence there were winners galore with success for sitting MPs and a host of former parliamentarians back from the political wilderness.

Annastacia Palaszczuk

Written off by most as a credible option for Premier during the election, she looks to have at the very least forced a very tight battle for control of the state.

Jackie Trad

One of the original Labor 'Tarago team' left standing after the 2012 election, she was one of the main Labor MPs asked about future leadership prospects on election night.

Kate Jones

The former Labor minister withdrew from public life after going down to Mr Newman in Ashgrove in 2012 only to return for revenge in 2015.

Cameron Dick

He was touted as a future leader before being ousted in the rort that was the 2012 election but looks set to return to parliament as the new Member Woodridge.

Stirling Hinchliffe

He was a three-time minister under Labor administrations but another high-level casualty of the 2012 election. He's predicted to win Sandgate back for Labor.

Mark Furner

The former Queensland Senator looks set to return to politics in Ferny Grove after spending

seven months out of the arena since being booted from the federal senate in the June elections.

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.

Grace Grace (Brisbane Central), Di Farmer (Bulimba), and Mark Ryan (Morayfield) are also back after three years out of the political scene.

And it is all done and dusted at the LNP party. Everyone has left and cleaners are now moving through the room.

The LNP has issued the following statement on its Facebook page:

After just three short years Queensland is a better state to live, work and raise a family – and we'll continue to work hard to that end.

Our government has pursued a forthright reform agenda because it was in the best interests of Queensland.

The budget had to be returned to surplus, Labor's $80 billion debt does have to be tackled, and we did need to take strong and decisive action to make our communities safer.

Now, because the Newman LNP Government took the right decisions early, the Queensland economy is now on track to record the strongest growth in the nation this year.

We thank all our wonderful candidates and hardworking members and volunteers for helping us achieve this and for your continued support to make our state even better.

With about 70 per cent of votes counted. Labor is on track to take 45 seats in the 89 seat Queensland Parliament.

Based on the current results, the LNP is expected to win 41 seats, Katter's Australian Party one seat, and one Independent.

The vote count continues in the morning.

Annastacia Palaszczuk is yet to officially declare victory in the Queensland election but has given a very victorious sounding speech.

Ms Palaszczuk arrived at Richlands Lions Soccer Club shortly after 10.30pm, where, despite saying the election was still to yet to be called, declared the LNP's three year reign over.

"I want to unite Queensland, I want to bring Queensland back together," she said.

"Let's put the past three years behind us. I want a consensus government where we listen and unite.

"Tomorrow, we begin a brand new chapter in Queensland history."

On the count late on Saturday, Labor was projected to win 43 of th 45 seats it needs to form government.

At the 2012 election, Campbell Newman's LNP crushed Labor, leaving it with just seven MPs in the 89-seat parliament.

Labor later won two by-elections.

Of the more than 30 seats it won at Saturday's election was the seat of Ashgrove, lost by Premier Newman to Labor candidate Kate Jones.

"I also on a very serious note want to wish Campbell Newman and his wife Lisa and their family all the very best for their future," she said.

Labor leader Annastacia Palaszczuk says she is "very hopeful" Labor can form government after a stunning Queensland election.

She said late on Saturday night that the result was still too close to call.

"It's still too close to call at present but I'm very hopeful that we will be able to form government in the state," she told Labor supporters.

What's left of the LNP party - and there is not a lot left - has come into the room to listen to Annastacia Palaszczuk's speech.

Do not rule out Pauline Hanson winning the seat of Lockyer and ending up with a seat in Queensland Parliament.

With almost 73 per cent of the vote counted, Ms Hanson - in her earlier days one of Australia's most divisive politicians- is polling second behind the LNP's Ian Rickuss and could win on preferences.

Mr Rickuss polling 33.1 per cent, Ms Hanson is polling 27.6 per cent, ahead of Labor's Steve Leese on 25 per cent.

If that trend continues, Ms Hanson would pick up more of the independent and Labor preferences than the LNP.

Senior LNP ministers are refusing to be drawn on who will replace Campbell Newman as LNP leader after Kate Jones claimed victory in Ashgrove.

Local Government Minister David Crisafulli stuck by the party line that he didn't expect the LNP to remain in government if Mr Newman lost Ashgrove. He said that appeared to have played out tonight.

When asked about the leadership he said: "Tonight's not the night for that".

Treasurer Tim Nicholls gave a similar answer to Channel Seven's Bill McDonald.

"There's plenty of things to do yet before we make those decisions," he said.

"I'm not going to give you an answer tonight Bill, I'm sorry."

One seat is bucking the state-wide swing to Labor.

LNP MP Deb Frecklington managed a boost to her vote in Nanango, albeit only slightly.

The Assistant Minister to the Premier had been anointed as a rising star in the party and tipped for a role in the ministry in the near future. While her colleagues fell around her to swings as large as 20 per cent and above Ms Frecklington managed a 0.5 per cent swing on first preferences.

On two-party-preferred standings she managed a six per cent swing against Katter's Australian Party candidate Ray Hopper.
