    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The Queensland premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk, has announced her retirement from politics.

    Palaszczuk will make the announcement at a press conference on Sunday following months of speculation about her future.

    Her successor – currently a three-way contest between the deputy premier, Steven Miles, the health minister, Shannon Fentiman and treasurer Cameron Dick – is yet to be decided.

    Palaszczuk said she made the decision while trying to find a time to take a break with her partner.

    “When I led this party from an opposition of just seven members, I said that first election would be like climbing Mt Everest.

    Palaszczuk was first elected as premier in 2015, leading Queensland Labor to a victory just one term after the party was reduced to just seven seats.
