Queensland Opposition leader Annastacia Palaszczuk says she is ready to fight the LNP at the polls, with jobs and education her priority policies.
Ms Palaszczuk told AAP on Tuesday that current Premier Campbell Newman's popularity had plummeted in the last few years, and that Labor would be ready to capitalise on this as soon as the election is called.
"Over the last three years the Queensland people have seen a government that is arrogant, that has broken promises, that promised to lower the cost of living - that hasn't happened - they promised to keep people in jobs - that hasn't happened - and now they want to sell the assets, which they said wouldn't happen before the last election," she said.
"People can't trust Campbell Newman and I think that is what is being reflected out there in the polls.
"People have simply had enough."
Mr Newman has announced he will set a date on Tuesday, hinting Queenslanders could go to the polls as early as January 31.
Ms Palaszczuk shook off suggestions that this tactic was designed to catch Labor on the hop.
She said she was ready to announce her jobs plan and "a clear vision in education" for the state.
"My main focus has been on jobs - it's been on jobs for the last two-and-a-half years.
"We've got unemployment heading towards 7 per cent and youth unemployment in our regional areas up to 20 per cent.
"This government has cut jobs, they've cut services and they've cut TAFE.
"My priority is to ensure job are at the forefront of our election campaign because Queensland deserves so much better."
