It has been a week and Queensland still does not have a government

It has been one week and Queensland still does not have a government.

But that was not entirely unusual, as premier Campbell Newman kept his role for two weeks following the LNP election loss in 2015, despite losing his seat of Ashgrove.

With the outcome of his own seat beyond doubt on election night on January 31, 2015, Mr Newman announced his retirement from politics but remained as caretaker premier pending the final results.

After gaining the support of independent Peter Wellington, Annastacia Palaszczuk was sworn in as the 39th premier on February 14, 2015.

On Friday, ABC psephologist Antony Green predicted Labor had almost certainly won the 47 seats it needed to form a majority government.

He called the Gold Coast hinterland seat of Gaven for Labor, the final seat Ms Palaszczuk needed to govern without crossbench support.

However, as of Friday afternoon, Ms Palaszczuk was yet to visit Governor Paul de Jersey to advise she could form a government, despite being confident of securing a majority. LNP leader Tim Nicholls was yet to concede defeat.

That was despite the numbers not looking good for the LNP, with predictions they could get up to 40 seats, and the fact they would have to secure the support of every single crossbencher.

That could include the Greens if Michael Berkman won Maiwar, and the party has ruled out supporting the LNP.

Mr Nicholls used a string of press conferences this week to call on Ms Palaszczuk to honour her promise to not do any deals to form a minority government should she not win a majority.

Neither party leader faced the media on Friday, and the last time the Premier took questions from journalists was Sunday, following a gruelling 28-day campaign and election day on the Saturday.

The 2017 election landed some heavy blows on the LNP's frontbench, including the likely departure of shadow treasurer Scott Emerson, shadow attorney-general Ian Walker and innovation spokeswoman Tarnya Smith.

The seat of Maiwar, in Brisbane's west remained on a knife-edge, with Greens candidate Mr Berkman ahead of Labor candidate Ali King by just four votes.

The only One Nation MP in the previous Parliament, Steve Dickson, lost his seat of Buderim, although the party will pick up one seat in Mirani with first-time member Stephen Andrew, but ousted senator Malcolm Roberts was unsuccessful in Ipswich.

It looked like Katter's Australian Party could get three seats, making it the strongest crossbench force in the Parliament, and costing LNP member for Hinchinbrook Andrew Cripps, the opposition's natural resources spokesman, his seat.

Indepdendent Sandy Bolton will win Noosa, which would cost LNP member Glen Elmes his seat.

Labor candidate for Cook Cynthia Lui was set to make history as the first Torres Strait Islander elected to Parliament.

Despite 84.6 per cent of the vote being counted, some seats were still too close to call, and the deadline for postal votes was Tuesday, December 5, with the results in some seats still not expected until late next week, as scrutineers examine preference flows.

Fairfax Media was yet to call six seats - Aspley, Bonney, Burdekin, Maiwar, Pumicestone and Townsville.

The Electoral Commission of Queensland has officially called just seven seats out of 93.

Labor factional negotiations are likely to play out as the make-up of the new-look cabinet is decided.
