Lawmakers have rejected British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s call for a snap election on October 15, 2019.

The motion failed to reach two thirds majority with 298 votes for and 56 against.

"We're really looking at this wet season to understand whether we'll see rainfall back to what we usually see during the summer months,” said the spokesperson. 

The Palaszczcuk government has passed tough new drink driving laws for Queensland.

Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said drink drivers will need to have an alcohol interlock in their vehicle until they can show a consistent record of clear breath tests over time.
