Queensland election twist no-one saw coming as Channel Seven reporter Bianca Stone – who Annastacia Palaszczuk slammed as ‘VERY RUDE’ – could be Labor’s worst nightmare [Video]

A Sunrise reporter who Annastacia Palaszczuk slammed as ‘very rude’ at a press conference will tonight learn if she is elected as a Liberal National Party MP – as exit polls show a surprisingly tight race in the Queensland state election. 

Ms Palaszczuk, the then-state Labor Premier, spectacularly clashed with long-time Channel Seven journalist Bianca Stone in a memorably frosty Covid press conference exchange. 

In July 2021, Ms Stone accused the Labor leader of pulling a ‘publicity stunt’ when she claimed she could not get enough Pfizer vaccines. She sassily told Ms Palaszczuk: ‘I work for Sunrise – the show you didn’t appear on this morning’.

The premier snapped back: ‘Well, I’m not going to answer people being rude, so anyone else have a question? 

‘You are being very rude,’ Ms Palaszczuk continued – before moving on and avoiding addressing the issue that Ms Stone had raised.
