Annastacia Palaszczuk (/ˈpæləʃeɪ/ⓘPAL-ə-shay,[3] Polish: Annastacia Pałaszczuk, pronounced[anːaˈstat͡ɕapaˈwaʂʈ͡ʂuk];[4] born 25 July 1969) is an Australian politician who served as the 39th premier of Queensland from 2015 to 2023. She held office as the leader of the Queensland branch of the Australian Labor Party (ALP) from 2012 until her resignation, and has been a member of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland (MLA) for the division of Inala since 2006. Palaszczuk is the fifth-most tenured premier in Queensland state history and the first woman to win the premiership from opposition, she also presided over the first majority female cabinet in Australian state and federal history.
Palaszczuk was a political adviser before her election to the Legislative Assembly, succeeding her father Henry Palaszczuk in the seat of Inala. She held several roles in the Bligh Government from 2009 to 2012, when Queensland Labor suffered a historic defeat. One of only seven remaining Labor Assembly Members, Palaszczuk was elected unopposed as the Leader of Queensland Labor, becoming Leader of the Opposition.
Despite Labor's heavy loss in 2012, Palaszczuk led Labor to victory at the 2015 election, becoming the first woman in Australian history to become a state premier from opposition. Her first ministry was majority female, also a first in Australia.[5] She went on to lead Labor to increased majorities at the 2017 and 2020 elections, making her the first Australian female premier to win three terms.[6]
On 10 December 2023, Palaszczuk announced her resignation as Premier.[7] She resigned as Premier on Friday 15 December, with then-Deputy Premier Steven Miles sworn in to succeed her on the same day.[8][9] She left parliament at the end of the month.
