Annastacia Palaszczuk has lamented the loss of her former deputy Jackie Trad while insisting her own fate remained in the hands of Queenslanders because she would not retire before the next election. In one of her most revealing interviews, Ms Palaszczuk admitted she never coveted the Premier s role when first elected, doesn t seek advice from any of her predecessors and won t talk politics with her father and former minister Henry to avoid family arguments. The comments come six years to the day since Ms Palaszczuk was sworn in as Queensland s 39th premier following her dramatic election victory over the first-term Newman government.
