IT's all over red rover. Despite the argy-bargy, claims and counter claims in the two weeks since the election, the Palaszczuk government has been installed on George Street.
The LNP has ruled out challenging the result in Ferny Grove, meaning that barring mishap or scandal, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and newly sworn-in ministerial team are now set to manage Queensland for the next three years.
LNP state director Brad Henderson said the LNP, after considering advice, would not refer the Ferny Grove result to the Court of Disputed Returns.
That advice centred on whether the 993 votes received by the ineligible Palmer United Party candidate were sufficient to counter the flow of voter preferences to Labor.
It was also a judgment call on whether or not the LNP could actually pull off the near impossible and retake the north Brisbane seat in a by-election.
However, that strategy was dependent on the LNP gaining the support of the fence-sitting Katter's Australian Party.
Ferny Grove was initially set to be referred to the court by the Queensland Electoral Commission after it was revealed that the PUP candidate was an undischarged bankrupt.
The commission ultimately decided against the move, leaving the LNP to consider a challenge with the aim of forcing a by-election.
Instead, the 42 LNP members will now rally around its leader Lawrence Springborg from the opposition benches.
"The LNP will now focus on providing a stable and competent alternative government for the people of Queensland over the course of the next Parliament," Mr Henderson said.
At the end of counting the LNP received 1,084,060 of the primary vote, 101,006 votes ahead of the 983,054 votes for Labor.
While the LNP secured the support of 41.32 per cent of Queenslanders, the fall of individual seats and the flow of preferences handed the ALP power despite only receiving 37.47pc of the vote.
The ALP had secured 44 seats, the LNP 42, Katter's Australian Party two and independent Peter Wellington his seat.
Next came the Greens with 221,157 or 8.43pc.
Perhaps surprisingly, the gaffe-prone PUP polled well ahead of the Katter's Australian Party.
PUP scored 133,929 (5.11pc) votes, compared to the KAP managing only 50,588 (1.93pc) votes.
While PUP failed to win a seat in Parliament, the KAP secured two.
Rob Katter won Mt Isa and Shane Knuth won Dalrymple, both with more than 65pc of the vote.
Also rans included Family First Party with 31,231 (1.19pc) votes and One Nation which recorded 24,111 (0.92pc) votes.
Other candidates including independent Peter Wellington secured 95,313 or 3.63pc of the vote. Mr Wellington received 13,237 primary votes.
