Union urges Qld Labor to review election

Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union state secretary Michael Ravbar has also called for a pause of the election to replace outgoing Labor state secretary Julie Ann Campbell.

"It makes zero sense to have the appointment process for the most important party position in the state rushed through before the final results of the May 21 poll are even known," Mr Ravbar said in a statement on Tuesday.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is poised to form a majority government after Labor picked up the necessary 76 seats, but the party lost ground in the Sunshine State.

Terri Butler lost her seat of Griffith to the Greens' Max Chandler-Mather, with the minor party also claiming the surrounding electorates of Brisbane and Ryan, formerly held by the Liberals.

"The bottom line is the Labor vote, and seat numbers, declined even further at the election, and the party should be casting the net as widely as possible when replacing the state secretary, at the same time as conducting a root and branch review of the campaign," Mr Ravbar said.

Labor's primary vote rose 1.1 per cent to 27.7 per cent in Queensland, despite a 3.8 per cent swing away from the Liberal National Party, which fell to 39.9 per cent of first preferences, according to the ABC.

With voters in inner-Brisbane seats turning toward the Greens, whose primary rose 2.2 per cent to 12.6 per cent, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has been spruiking her government's "progressive environment agenda" since the election.

"We now have a federal Labor government that is committed to action on climate change," Ms Palaszczuk said from the regional centre of Rockhampton on Monday.

"I'm looking forward to working with, and I love saying this, the Albanese Labor government to put in place ... key reforms when it comes to climate change."

The Queensland branch of the ALP has been contacted for comment.
