Former Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has spoken about how personal loss shaped her resilience, as she reflects on her political career and the rollback of her renewable energy policies by the current state government.
In a podcast interview with political editor Tom McIlroy, Palaszczuk discusses the profound impact of miscarriage and IVF treatments, which she recounts in her new memoir. She said these experiences formed her resilience.
Palaszczuk described as 'heartbreaking' the decision by David Crisafulli's government to reverse her renewable energy policies. She also attributed Pauline Hanson's long political career to her being 'relatable'.
The interview was recorded before police charged Palaszczuk's partner, Vahid Reza Adib, with rape, sexual assault and deprivation of liberty. Adib has been granted police bail and will appear in court at a later date.
