A week's a long time in politics but what about asking for 208 more of them at the top after racking up twice that number already?
That's what Annastacia Palaszczuk is requesting of Queenslanders when the state goes to the polls on October 26, next year.
The premier announced her intentions this week with a video pitch to voters on Queensland's stronger post-pandemic economy and an enormous investment in renewable energy and cost-of-living packages following budget dividends from coal royalties.
Ms Palaszczuk is seeking a fourth term after becoming premier in 2015 and the first woman to win from opposition.
She will surpass Peter Beattie as the longest-serving Labor premier since World War II next May.
If re-elected, her tenure at the helm will be a staggering 717 weeks after she promised on Thursday that she would see out a full term.
Much like in 2015, 2017 and even briefly 2020, polling has her on track for defeat to the Liberal National Party.
A YouGov survey during the week had Ms Palaszczuk behind opposition leader David Crisafulli for the first time this term.
Yet in the face of adversity and a gruelling 12 months ahead, she is adamant her government and in particular, leadership style, still resonate with voters across the state.
"He talks the talk but there's no plan, there's no action," she says of Mr Crisafulli.
"What you see with me is what you get," she boasts.
"I deliver on my commitments. We've always delivered on our election commitments. We have healthcare front and centre delivering for families.
"What you're seeing from the opposition is they are hiding. They're hiding their plans - their true plans from the public - and once they get into that election campaign, there's nowhere to hide."
Ms Palaszczuk says Labor also has a housing plan, one for energy and another for jobs. The economy is strong and the future bright.
"All of that can be torn down if the LNP get in office because they've done it all before," she warns.
"They've torn apart the very fabric of our society and they'll do it again."
Housing, health and harrowing stories of youth crime will be hot on the opposition's agenda once the campaigning cranks up.
Mr Crisafulli says victims of crime want justice done and their rights to come before those of offenders.
"When you have weak laws and fewer police, what happens is you have more victims and the scale of their hurt is amplified," he says.
"That's what Queenslanders are dealing with at the moment."
However, the government has responded to criticism with swathes of reform targeting youth and recidivist offenders in the face of a 'crisis'.
It has also came under fire for bypassing its own Human Rights Act twice in 2022 after legislating stricter conditions on how police and courts deal with youth offenders.
Pressures on housing and health are rife, while much has been spent on infrastructure upgrades and a 10-year jobs and and energy plan featuring colossal renewable projects.
Queensland's transition away from coal and into pumped-hydro, solar and wind alternatives has begun in earnest.
A 1000km high-voltage energy transmission line in north Queensland, a plan to unlock billions of dollars of reserves in the northwest minerals province and investment in exporting green hydrogen: the proof is in the pudding, the premier says.
"We still have a very large export growth happening," Ms Palaszczuk responds when asked if there will be voter backlash in the regions where change will take most away from them.
"What we're saying is, we have what the world needs," she says.
"We have those critical minerals. Our job is to unlock those critical minerals to make the batteries here, to make the wind turbines here and our energy and jobs plan is transformational for the state.
"Queensland is a very complex state and a lot of people underestimate the complexity of our state, but also too, the competing factors in different regions. And that's why my job is to unite Queensland as much as possible.
"Having said that, my firm belief is Labor is the only party and the only government that has the plans for this state's future."
Katter's Australia Party leader Robbie Katter reckons the government has been poking the regions with policy and "if they want to keep doing it, they'll get punished by the people".
"They're not matching it up with reality and there will be a reckoning at some point," he says.
"It seems that that's coming for the government."
'Beautiful one day, perfect the next," Ms Palaszczuk says during the narration of her new video.
The campaign, election and subsequent fall-out from it may be neither.
But Queenslanders, as they love to do, will have the final say.
