Former Courier Mail and Sunday Mail editor Des Houghton says Annastacia Palaszczuk has a “mixed legacy” after her shock resignation as premier of Queensland.
Ms Palaszczuk announced her retirement at a press conference on Sunday and will officially step down as premier next week.
Ms Palaszczuk was elected in 2015, following the loss of the one-term Campbell Newman Liberal National government.
“She’s had a very bad run – not everything has gone Annastacia’s way,” Mr Houghton told Sky News Australia.
“Slowly, her popularity waned, and people turned against her.
“In the last four or five polls, she has been in a downhill slide and clearly, it was time to go.”

First
She will be remembered for he cold, calculated and disgusting handling of covid. Refusing medical help to those that needed it the most. Her Queenland hospitals are for Queenslanders statement will be on her tombstone. That's her legacy.
Anastasia Pileo'shi…finally got flushed away
Merry Christmas.. good news!! Andrews, Palaszczuk.. what a good way to start the new year!!! 🙂
Very happy she is gone .Done nothing but sell out FNQ and give it to down south . YEAH THE WITCH IS GONE
I guess that she shouldn't have taken the Pfizer bribe and the media should have admitted it!
What clowns you are.
Brisbane has boomed under her govt. QLD education is now the leading all other states in outcomes. Population growth once again powering ahead of the other states.
What…you want Neumann back…lol.
She embodied all that is wrong with Labor. Hopefully, Miles will be there next premier that will seal Labors defeat next election.
Of course the fuckwits at Sky write this as the headline rather than "most objectively successful Labor premiere in QLD retires by choice at height of career"
She’s quite delusional isn’t she. Praising herself up like no other and ignoring her bad run which was appalling over time.
Bye Bye
Tribute to what
Good riddance!
She should start a new business in the Dairy Farmers , as a new Cow .
😂😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏 There’s someone who breached the Nuremberg Code, human rights by introducing mandates that had no basis in science. Masks have been proven beyond doubt didn’t work for an airborne virus as proved by the Cochrane Institutes peer reviewed study. In the UK this has been admitted to by one of the government scientific advisors in their inquiry. Mandates didn’t work as the result was no different to Sweden that didn’t lock down.
The government is rehiring teachers, nurses and police that didn’t have the jab that had severe side effects. Good riddance I say. Just my opinion
Bad run?she should be held accountable for the debacle COVID crisis?she was hopelessly out of her depth.good bye and good riddance
Bye bye Bulldog 😂😂😂😂😂 Hit the road
So lipstick on a pig that flies out of office before being slaughtered. That's a trifecta.
Jail time for this filth
Time to go alright,go as far away from QLD as possible.North Pole sounds good.
Suddenly all the Covid premiers are resigning on Pfizer's bonuses! Are you surprised????????
Her covid tyranny finally catching up with her. Just like all her Marxist buddies from other states, she is jumping before she's imprisoned
This is how Sky does their disinformation and undermines democracy. We have Sharri, a champion News Corp commentator interviewing Des, the editor of a News Corp newspaper. Together their number one purpose on the job (working for Rupert) is to bring down any government that may favour citizens over corporations and to promote the LNP. Then there’s the interview in which Des makes the call that Australia’s longest serving female premier – 9 years next February; 3 times winning the vote of the Qld people in a conservative state, improving her majority at the last 2 elections – has had a bad run. What are you saying Des: the people voted for her instead of my team so that means she’s had a bad run?
ONLY ON SKY!
Such a bad job people kept electing her…
Yes, Des, the premier who led Labor back into office from just 7 seats. Handled COVID very well which got Labor a second term in 2020. Drastically brought down the rates of land clearing that were going on under Newman. In fact, pretty much the entire first term was cleaning up the mess left by the LNP.
A 'very bad run' indeed, Des, having a party who actually works for Queenslanders, and not for the interests of your sponsors. Shock horror.
The corrupt boys told their puppet to evacuate just like they did with all the other Pfizer bunnies! Good riddance to bad rubbish!
Good Riddens, Now let's get rid of all the others and start a fresh with new non Corrupt government
Sky News are beyond pathetic. Hard to find the right word. Buffoonery
Good riddance
Now im being targeted by local law inforcement. I was just followed to my friends nan's house to get tobacco and noticed the helicopter followed me from one side of town to the other.
An hour later they were flying directly over my home.
I see whats about to happen, due to comments ive left everywhere.
I know im about to be made an example of.
If im crazy, im crazy.
If not, I'll be locked up or killed and the smeer campaign will begin.
I hope you all recognise this comment and understand what happens to me will happen to you.
Lol these days "retirement" and "resigning" is the very political way of saying you did a 💩 job and you're fired.
As they say rats flee a sinking ship
Typical Murdoch nonsense propaganda red meat for his mindless viewers. Labor politicians can do no right, and right wingers can do wrong. What a load of old crap.
Good riddance to Premier Chook guts.
No one likes her anyway, anyway
Checked my goldfish this morning, and will have to accept I'll never know it's sex. It refused to self-identify.
I wish ol’ palletjack all the best. BYYYEEEE!
Unfortunately , the woman, Shannon fentiman doesn’t know what a woman is , no one that dense should run anything let alone a state.
I remember when this woman let a football team pass the borders during covid but declined a brain tumour patient to return home and recover with her family. Fabulous 👌
