The Liberal Democrats' man in Ryan, Damian Coory, has admitted the Greens may steal the show in the Brisbane seat of Ryan. 

His comments come as Queensland's most senior federal government MP Peter Dutton has revealed his thoughts on what will happen in his Queensland electorate. He has remained tight lipped, however, on whether he will make a bid for the Liberal Party leadership if the Coalition loses power tonight. 

Meanwhile, Palaszczuk Government minister Leeanne Enoch has been out at polling booths where she claimed  her government's record on handling the pandemic could help the party pick up votes in Queensland. 

While Jim Chalmers, who will be the Treasurer if Labor gets over the line tonight, was out early with his family to cast his vote at the Springwood Rd State School. 

He posed with selfies with supporters between handing out how-to-vote cards before casting his vote.

On the Darling Downs, the Labor candidate for Groom Gen Allpass  said she had received threats of violence in the days leading up to the election, adding to death threats sent her way earlier in the campaign. 

Candidates and campaign workers alike have been left shocked by voter turnout across Queensland today  with estimates that as many as 50 per cent of constituents may have cast their ballot before polling day.
