Frecklington says no to Acland stage 3 mine

Frecklington says no to Acland stage 3 mine

After months of lobbying from local LNP candidate for Nanango Deb Frecklington, the LNP has made it clear that it will not support the proposal for Acland stage 3 that would see the expansion of the open cut coal mine digging up strategic cropping land.

Deb Frecklington said fighting for locals would be her number one priority if she was elected to represent the region.

"If elected to government, we would quickly introduce Statutory Regional Planning Schemes to protect strategic cropping land on the Darling Downs and in the Golden Triangle," she said.

"The fact this regional planning didn't happen a long time ago is just another sign that this 20 year old Labor government simply doesn't care about regional Queensland.

"This regional planning should have happened long before any mining and gas approvals were given.

"Only the LNP will stand up for locals and protect our very best farming land that can sustainably produce food and fibre for future generations.

"We will protect farm communities from being dug up for mining.

Mrs Frecklington said this was an important issue and that locals needed a strong government to find common sense solutions.

"Katter's Australia Party has refused to rule out supporting Labor after the election, meaning a vote for Carl Rackemann this election risks 3 more years of Anna Bligh and Labor.

"Anna Bligh is hoping locals will vote for a minor party or an independent this election, meaning we could end up in the same mess we see in Canberra.

"We need a strong MP that can be part of a strong CanDo government.

"It's time for a change. It's time to get Queensland back on track."
