Six months has passed since the Annastacia Palaszczuk and Labor came to office and the government has hit the pause button on Queensland’s economy.
Opposition Leader Lawrence Springborg said that Premier Palaszczuk is leading a do-nothing government and Queenslanders deserve more.
“Queenslanders didn’t vote for this,” Mr Springborg said.
“They wanted to see continued growth from the plans the LNP put in place after years of Labor mismanagement under Beattie and Bligh.
“For some ministers in Annastacia Palaszczuk’s cabinet to say that what they have delivered in government has been having more meetings is laughable.” He said
“We have Deputy Premier “Minister for Everything” and leader-in-waiting Jackie Trad pointing to a plan that isn’t due out until 2016 as the biggest reform she’s overseen.
“The people of Queensland deserve better than a government that is all talk and no action.
Mr Springborg said that the minority Labor Government has been dogged by crises and scandal.
“We’ve seen the Premier have to distance herself from the Member for Cook Billy Gordon, yet she still stands behind her murky Member for Pumicestone Rick Williams and bungling Police Minister Jo-Ann Miller.
“She’s allowed the Health Minister to scrap the wait-time guarantee and her Infrastructure Minister to oversee a year-long infrastructure freeze in this state.
“When is the Premier going to step up to the plate and actually start governing?
In stark contrast to the government’s inaction, Mr Springborg said the LNP opposition had been proactive about being Queensland alternative government.
“We have our Real Economic Plan to keep Queensland’s economy on the right track as it was under the LNP, we have been listening to what Queenslanders are saying about where the state is going.
“The LNP opposition has introduced legislation to protect our volunteer firefighters, we moved to stop Labor’s rego fee hike and our motion led to Parliament calling on Labor to keep the wait time guarantee.
