Queensland election: party insiders say minority government is increasingly likely

Labor and the LNP expect wildly different results from different parts of the state, with only a narrow path to outright victory

The likelihood of a minority government in Queensland has increased significantly since the start of the state election campaign, analysts say, as both major parties find themselves with narrowing paths to an outright victory.

For the past four weeks, the Queensland campaign has played out as if occurring in two separate states - Labor and the Liberal National party have crafted separate messages for the urban south-east compared with the rest of Queensland.
