Cabinet Tensions and Leadership Succession

Queensland Premier David Crisafulli balances hands-off leadership with decisive control, relying on a loyal deputy and policy guru to steer the state. Tensions flared last year between Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie and Treasurer David Janetzki over energy strategy, but relations have since calmed. Crisafulli’s grip on power remains unshakable, even as he prepares for potential upheaval from a federal police probe into a stood-down minister — a shake-up that could reshape cabinet, split Treasury from Energy, and elevate rising stars like Sean Dillon. Should Crisafulli step down, Bleijie and Attorney-General Deb Frecklington — whose recent performance has surged her profile — are the frontrunners to take the reins.
