Labor leader Annastacia Palaszczuk has been sworn in as the 39th premier of Queensland by Governor Paul de Jersey.

Jackie Trad has been sworn in as deputy premier and Curtis Pitt as Treasurer.

The new premier rushed from the swearing-in to the funeral of former Labor minister Anita Cunningham, but said the ceremony was good.

Ms Trad says the Palaszczuk government's number one priority will be boosting jobs and getting major projects going.
