LNP boost teacher aides for our Prep kids

Published in Metro West Written by Tarnya Smith

A CanDo LNP Government will revitalise front line education services by boosting Prep teacher aides across Queensland schools to ensure our children get the best start, LNP candidate for Mount Ommaney, Tarnya Smith, said today.

"Under the tired, 20-year Labor government, Queensland children are languishing at the bottom of the nation for literacy and numeracy.

Under an LNP government, power bills will show the real cost of Federal Labor's oppressive carbon tax, according to LNP candidate for Mount Ommaney Tarnya Smith.

Tarnya Smith said Labor's carbon tax would hit all Mount Ommaney households and businesses. It would cost jobs and lead to huge price rises – especially for electricity.

The LNP's Stephen Bennett will fight to see residents of Burnett reap benefits under the LNP's Royalties for the Regions program which will build better roads, health, education, community and sporting facilities in regional Queensland.

Mr Bennett said the program included $170 million over four years for the Resource Community Building Fund and $285 million over four years for Roads to Resources.

Published in Metro East Written by Mark Robinson

Member for Cleveland, Mark Robinson, for the second time in a week, joined with Principal Allan Todd to condemn the Bligh Labor government for its poor treatment of Redlands College.

"It is clear now that the government has broken its promise to adequately resource Redlands College to comply with the government's Year 7 changes," Dr Robinson said.

Royalties for the Regions will ensure that people in regional Queensland benefit from Queensland's wealth and income generated from their hard work and abundant resources, LNP candidate for Mulgrave said today.

"This groundbreaking initiative announced by LNP leader, Campbell Newman today will ensure that Queensland regions, including the Far North, that host major resource developments will receive real, long term royalty benefits through better planning and targeted infrastructure investment," Mrs Quick said. "This will end Labor's neglect and give back to the regions that produce resource and mineral wealth."
