the real reason for annastacia palaszczuk's glamorous new look is revealed days after she posted a bizarre selfie from her office

Annastacia Palaszczuk's selfie debuting her new glamorous look came on the same day she promoted a new social media campaign. 

The photo was one of countless posts made by the premier as she attempts to use her social media accounts to promote her campaigns and connect directly with her 299,000 followers on Facebook and 182,000 followers on Twitter. 

The Queensland premier had uploaded a photo of her glamorous makeover to her Facebook and Twitter accounts last Wednesday.

While most of her followers praised the new look, several eagle-eyed social media users spotted a stack of papers marked 'urgent' sitting in the background. They took issue with the size of the pile and argued Ms Palaszczuk should focus on her work and less on social media. 


The ongoing updates have drawn approval from pundits who view the social media accounts as a personal news channel and even call it the 'Palaszczuk News Network'.  

It means Ms Palaszczuk no longer has to rely on big news networks to make her big announcements. Instead, she can turn to her social media pages.

On August 25, she was able to directly inform her followers that Queensland would no longer be accepting NSW, Victoria or ACT travellers into hotel quarantine.

The announcement was delivered before any of the big news networks were able to break the news.

The following day, Ms Palaszczuk was the first to reveal she was setting up a quarantine facility on the Darling Downs - without federal funding.

The news caught Toowoomba mayor Paul Antonio and prime minister Scott Morrison off-guard. 

Although Facebook and Twitter have allowed the premier to get a head start, her rolling posts have drawn criticism with some followers saying she focusses too much time on social media.

Her selfie bizarrely copped criticism from Queenslanders after eagle-eyed viewers spotted a pile of papers marked 'urgent' sitting unattended in the background. 

The premier fired up her Twitter account to share a selfie of her done-up appearance as she sat behind her office desk on August 25. 

'Thanks for all the work you're doing, Queenslanders. Keep staying safe,' she wrote.

But social media users looking at the photo suggested the premier should deal with the 'urgent' files she had sitting on her desk rather than racking up 'likes' on the platform.

'Finish the work in the "Urgent" tray before taking your selfies,' one person said. 

'You literally have work marked "Urgent". Really great time to stop and take a selfie and show off your nice little purse,' another wrote. 

'What's the ETA on those urgent files?' A third said. 

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to the premier's office for comment.

Others slammed the premier for taking personal snaps while the state's Covid vaccination rates remain low and hard border closures are keeping families separated and crippling the local economy. 

'Make sure you whack that two inches of make up before your selfie. I have not seen my son since March this year cause of these stupid lock downs. Miss him so much,' one person commented. 

'You post a photo of yourself smiling when you've just made families homeless with no notice whilst in transit with valid permits issued by your government. Sickening,' another added. 

'Get off Twitter and Facebook and fix our pathetic vaccination rate. FFS,' a third comment read.  

One person asked: 'Just get your hair done and fell the need to share?' while another questioned: 'Was this meant for Instagram?' 

'Perhaps take your share of returning overseas travellers, then go and get your hair done! Enjoy your no tourism summer,' someone else said.

But not everyone was disgruntled by the premier's post, with some praising her revamped image and thanking her for running the state. 

'Looking very glam there premier! And doing a bloody good job too,' one person complimented.

'I know this is off point but you look stunning!' Another wrote.

'Looking very pretty and healthy,' someone else said.

'Liking the new hairdo Premier, thank you for all you do for us Queenslanders,' a fourth added. 

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Ms Palaszczuk's office for comment. 

The photo was uploaded after Ms Palaszczuk announced Queensland had paused its hotel quarantine program for domestic travellers from NSW, Victoria and the ACT for two weeks amid capacity pressures as it avoids another Covid outbreak.

'So we simply just do not have any room at the moment, we are reassessing, we are looking at other options, but Queensland is being loved to death,' Ms Palaszczuk told reporters on Wednesday.

Anyone from NSW, Victoria or the ACT with a border exemption pass, except extraordinary exemptions, will need to reapply to enter.

A new system is being set up to allocate specific hotel quarantine rooms for travellers from September 8.

Ms Palaszczuk said the federal government's evacuation of personnel from Afghanistan, which she supports, was also putting pressure on capacity.

She said Queensland isn't considering following South Australia with a trial of home quarantine to reduce pressure.

Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young said it was not as simple as involving more hotels either.

'They need to be vaccinated, they need to be trained in using PPE, they need to be trained in infection control, and we've just reached that capacity,' she said.

'That's why we just need a pause to recalibrate.' 

While Queensland may have avoided an outbreak, the government still sees a risk from the Delta variant outbreak in NSW.

At present only certain essential workers who have had at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine are allowed to drive into Queensland.

About 120 Australian Defence Force troops have arrived to backup border police at checkpoints.

Acting Chief Superintendent Rhys Wildman says four checkpoints will have two ADF personnel operating on a 24 hour basis, monitoring all avenues of access to Queensland along the border.

He added that the pausing of hotel quarantine for two weeks has seen a drastic reduction in vehicles crossing the checkpoints.

'We're sort of averaging 2000-2500 vehicles a day now crossing the checkpoints, which is a drastic reduction,' he said.  

From 12pm Wednesday people entering Queensland will not be permitted to enter on a right of entry pass and would need to reapply for a border pass to be allocated a time to enter in another fortnight (pictured - travellers wearing masks in Queensland)
