Steven Miles is set to become Queensland’s next premier, 9News understands.

It’s understood the decision was made following a late-night deal brokered between union heavyweights.

Miles will be voted in as premier when the state Labor party holds a ballot on Friday, where he will run as leader uncontested.

It is understood current Treasurer Cameron Dick will take on the role of deputy premier.

The deputy premier was the first to put his name forward just hours after Palaszcuzk’s resignation.
