Cluelessness and indecision reign supreme as the Palaszczuk Labor Government continues to keep Queenslanders in the dark over the cost of living and jobs.
Opposition Leader Lawrence Springborg said Labor had left Queensland in a state of confusion, with questions still remaining over Labor’s plans to slug pensioners on their power bills and if they will approve Adani’s Carmichael project.
“What we have here is a government that can’t make a decision on anything from power prices to the state’s economic future and it is holding Queensland back,” Mr Springborg said.
“Treasurer Curtis Pitt has made three differing announcements in three days, scaring the pants off pensioners over their Electricity Rebate Scheme.
“Yesterday he said pensioners would keep their rebate, but today he’s saying future pensioners could lose out on the benefits.
“Across the road, the State Development Minister continues to sit on the mining lease approval for Australia’s largest coal mine, all the while stalling on the thousands of jobs it could create for Queenslanders.
“If Minister Lynham is as supportive of this project as he says he is, he should approve the mine and unlock the jobs and royalties it will create for the state.”
Mr Springborg said Labor had left Queensland in a state of confusion and it wasn’t fair for the Treasurer and the State Development Minister to continue to keep Queenslanders in the dark.
“Queenslanders want a clear pathway to infrastructure, they want jobs for future generations and they want to be able to get by without having to worry about cost of living skyrocketing” he said.
“The Palaszczuk Labor Government has failed Queenslanders on all counts.
“Queenslanders deserve better and only the LNP has a strong economic plan to unleash Queensland’s potential.”
