The Courier-Mail’s panel of undecided voters have revealed who they voted for, saying it was time for change.
But they hoped opposition leader David Crisafulli would stick to what he promised.
The LNP narrowly won the votes, with seven voters giving them the nod ahead of six for the ALP.
Two people voted for the Greens.
Many said they were worried Premier Steven Miles’ election promises would be paid for with borrowings, which inevitably lost him some votes.
This was a change of tune from The Courier-Mail’s exclusive Voter Verdict of undecided voters chosen by YouGov, as they’d previously found Miles won three out of the four weeks of the campaign.
RESULTS LIVE: HOW EVERY SEAT IS FALLING
Claire Wright said she voted for the LNP because Queensland needed change.
“I am a little worried that Mr Crisafulli is going to backtrack on more of his policies, but I guess that’s just a watch and see what happens,” she said.
Gail McIntyre from the Sunshine Coast said she believed the LNP would deliver on their promises.
“I could not vote Labour knowing their electoral promises would be paid for with borrowings,” she said.
“This swayed me from voting for them along with their scare tactics in this campaign. Labor has had ten years in power. The state is in a mess and just now they have solutions, but only if re-elected.
“That’s a no for Labor for me and a yes to LNP for achievable outcomes.”
Elodie said she voted for the Greens because they represented a winning alternative to the major parties.
Jack Lee said Steven Miles won him over after the debate on Tuesday night.
“I felt like his talking points were more closely aligned to the issues that I thought were more important, like specifically the housing crisis and the cost of living,” he said.
