A majority of Queenslanders have voted in favour of giving state governments four-year terms.
Counting is still under way, but the “yes” vote, which was backed by the government and Opposition had a handy margin.
Despite this, there was plenty of negative feedback around Logan City Council booths over the referendum to decide whether Queensland should have fixed four-year terms of Parliament.
Peter Roebig voted at the Jimboomba State School and said he had decided against an extra year.
“I think three years is ample time,’’ he said.
Ms Roebig said she also shared the same view.
Attorney-General Yvette D’Ath said fixed four-year terms had wide support across all sides of politics and would bring Queensland into line with every other state government in Australia, except Tasmania.
