Anna Palaszczuk wants to hold a national cabinet meeting to discuss why a doctor couldn’t administer a vaccine dose.

It’s a pity she doesn’t do something about the closure of maternity wards in regional Queensland over the last 30 years under Labor Governments.

Can we get a version of this map with the open ones please? I think it will be clear that there are plenty of new ones opened. I am in the Sunshine Coast and Nambour was moved to Kawana 10 minutes away but arguably closer to the population with better facilities. Wife had her first in Nambour and will have the second in June at Kawana. The LNP needs to stop chasing dead end scare campaigns and build policy that helps Queenslanders. I will also note that the LNP cutting health jobs when in power doesn’t help this issue?

The Deputy Premier is also refusing to pay the Quarantine Bill to NSW who looked after Qld citizens returning to Australia unless the Federal Gov't approve the Wellcamp Quarantine Facility! They can't even provide reasonable medical facilities to regional / remote Qld sites! This peanut (as Health Minister) also wasted $500K to change the name of a hospital named after a Female Medical Pioneer using false polling data!

I don't think you can call them "maternity" units any more. According to the woke cult, the word "maternity" is not "gender-inclusive." Pretty sure that "Queensland" is "problematic" as well. It's no wonder that these units for "chest-feeders" are being closed down. The socialists are too busy changing the language and culture. Who needs "chest-feeder units" when you can have the Olympics? Stop complaining and be happy with bread and circuses.

Lived in Bowen for 5 years. 1 hour to nearest maternity hospital (Proserpine). If you were high risk you needed to move away from your family and go to Townsville four weeks before you were due. Just not good enough

They've closed because the state government is more interested in conserving wildlife than protecting human life.

The Qld Govt is broke and in debt up to its eyeballs.

Yet they voted her back in. Can’t work it out. Qld. WA. Vic. What’s wrong with people in these states. They don’t seem to look at the big picture. The debt. The unemployment. Etc

Gerard one thing you omitted, all those closures are not in Brisbane,

For goodness sake, there is more to be done in our own backyard.

OMG this is terrible let her live on some of these remote places, if you live in these places stop paying tax to her that’s something for her to get her head around. When you live remote you truly are in her book not worth worrying about. Why don’t we know about all this when an election is on, how many other important things don’t we know?🇨🇳🇨🇳

Bring on the Olympics it will fix everything. Maybe ask Peter Beattie he could probably handle health and Olympics so don't you worry about that.

And regional Queensland support Labor to do it. Unbelievable how many mothers and babes are at risk now because of this.

Note that on the map it reads/looks as like they are all closed down in LNP territory but in QLD Labors territories they have not been shut down.

Who put the contract out, billy. It certainly wasn't the state governments. Now there are problems with couriers in Victoria. What is your claim to fame as as a Senator, free feeds and expensive dinners on the taxpayer. When was the last time you did anything outside Brisbane.

Sounds fishy to me. Were the two elderly people the first two that the doctor vaccinated?? Were they one after another and if something happens to them will the public be notified?

Dear anna probably did the maths and discovered that as she is pushing for more abortions right up to birth, why have maternity wards when she wants them killed.

She also should pay her share of lockdown accommodation to NSW!

I don’t think Anna has any rights to ask for anything . She should clean up her own back yard after the death of that poor women last week, but she is more interested in the Olympic Games in 11 years .

It’s an absolute disgrace, how Labor has treated regional Qld.

Palaszczuk lives with red herring diversions from her and Miles incompetency in government. Master spin team.

Shutting down this many maternity wards is shocking! Are we in a developed nation or are we going backwards? Thank you Senator Renwick for holding the government accountable.

I thought Anna’s little boy Stevie had seen the light and faded into obscurity but no, stuck his bib in today to chastise NSW for asking for their $50 mill.

She is a pathetic premier. She and Steven Miles are destroying Qld, it's tourism and it's credibility throughout the entire country. Well done.....not. Don't they realize, at the rate they are going, the excitement they displayed about the Olympics will be short lived as there won't be anything left to come to. Going down hill fast.

Giving birth in Wiepa was never allowed.

You a re lucky.look at the regional centres not coastal!!

We promised we’d use the first week of Parliament to fight for you.

We called on the Premier to take action on Queensland’s youth crime crisis, and make breach of bail an offence.

We demanded the government give those small businesses still struggling a fair go through COVID support packages.

And the Premier still has questions to answer about the use of her private email account for government business.

A big week, made even bigger with our state now the preferred candidate for the 2032 Olympic Games.

To host the games we have a lot of work to do like accelerating infrastructure projects.

But it has to be generational infrastructure, built by Queenslanders, and throughout the state.

To get the Games, we need to be ready.

We’ll keep listening and fighting for you.

David - poll Queenslanders, we don’t want the games, we want to drought proof our state!

If you are truly listening, forget the games, they do not, have and will not be the catylst for sustained and measured recovery.

Too bad you couldn’t get the Premier and Labor to have their jabs first. Maybe then those 2 elderly people wouldn’t have had quadruple dose. That’s also 6 doses less now too.

Judging by the comments, nothing much has changed. Just reacting to decisions beyond the LNP control. Where is the vision and where are the policies? Proactivity is promise and unity. Reactivity creates chaos and division.

What really worries me is Brisbane is the prefered bidder and yet there are negoatuions that have to be completed yet. Smells to me. I wonder if they can get Steven Conroy in to set it up as an openeded agreement like he did with the NBN.

Why are we going to bid for the Olympics when there are much more important issues for our state,

You should be encouraging the government to pay their way with hotel quarantine which was provided by nsw in good faith

Please con't bother ! !

Lawrence Springborg spruiked youth crime as a policy. No one listened. Deb spruiked youth crime and you lost three target seats in the Norh. Not saying abandon it as an issue, but please show how you understand families in 2020, For example how many single parent families are out there? How are you going to help these families? What programs are you going to put in place to combat indigenous crime? What arfe you going to do to help children in care? Start showing you understand the problem for the whole state and not just a couple of well off families and you may start making up the ground. That is just one area, but one you have lost in every election bar one on this issue alone.

Flick the games and concentrate on law and order and getting re-elected. If yet to meet 1 person who thinks the Olympic Games is a good idea. Don’t give that dibble about the games helping tourism, if we spent the same money on advertising all of QLD, we would still be better off!

What a disgusting display the Queensland government did today ripping up their share of quarantine for their people who did their time at the expense of the NSW government it was something a kindergarten child would do really disgusting

We need Paradise Dam fixed!

Do we really need the games here in QLD

We can not afford so get over it and fight to stop this rot not support it.

Don't hold your breath while waiting for the old bag to do something about it.

Can you please move a motion that the Treasurer is not competent to hold that office. He humiliates Queenslanders!!

Hi David can you tell me why certain secondary schools in Mackay area have the police coming and telling students that they have to step in and break up fights if they start between other students or they could be charged? If this happens and they cop a punch from one of the students fighting who do we sue the education department or the police department this is unacceptable and needs attention immediately also I would like to know why students have been told that they are not allowed out of class to go to the toilet in the middle of lessons. This is not acceptable either and something needs to be done about this immediately

Dump the games. Just another labor excuse to pour more money into the SE corner.

I want you libs to win but this post oh boy you need a better marketing person. Seriously this is ridiculous

Sorry, noone I know supports the games. I live in se Qld but I want the money spent in the regions on things like hospitals & roads.

First Priority should be to develop the Bruce Highway 4 lanes, as the Pacific Highway, this would generate, Jobs, Income for suffering regions, ease the Horrific road toll, more cost effective Road Transport and Showcase Our State as a WHOLE Queensland and not just a South East Queensland Region, I've been driving the Goat Track for over 50years, it's still a Blight on Our Great State.

A long haul of 3 years & 8 months...but keep the good fight happening.

Right ban the Olympics

Will someone please stop labor MPs abusing parliamentary privilege to settle personal scores with councillors?

What the government announced today is only smoke and mirrors. In my opinion.

How good is Queensland!

Exciting news for Australia and Queensland - we’re now a step closer to hosting another Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Overnight the International Olympic Committee announced it will enter exclusive negotiations with Queensland for the 2032 event. This is a hugely positive development but we still have a lot of work to do.

Since the Federal Government announced our support for the bid in 2019, we’ve been working with the state and local governments, the Australian Olympic Committee and Paralympics Australia to put forward the best possible case for Queensland to host 2032.

The event is potentially a game-changer for Queensland.

It will see the Sunshine State beamed around the globe, while delivering an economic and jobs boom.

We saw how Sydney 2000 brought our nation together and took Australian sport to a new level, and that’s what we’ll be aiming to do again if we’re successful in hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games again in 2032.

I hate to disagree with our PM, but this time I must. It’s a waste of time and money and we certainly don’t have the skills to pull it off. I wouldn’t be surprised if they picked us out of desperation as smart cities don’t want it. However Palachook doesn’t care and she won’t be in power when it crashes. It’s good politics though as it takes the focus away from their incompetence. And there is also the ridiculous decision to take in Norfolk Island. Heaven help us mortals in Queensland.

I live in Queensland and I was against the idea of the Games in Queensland because of our Laboir Government and the Palace Chook who is a disaster. We will never know who got paid what and what the "arrangements" are with the unions. I don't trust them. This morning I saw my Local Member stand on his hind legs and tear up a bill for Quarantine Hotel from NSW. He is the deputy leader. His only claim to fame was to run a scam to rename the Lady Cellento Hospital to the Brisbane Childrens hospital because he cannot stsnd the idea of Colonial decorations. He is sometimes called Doctor and did his PHD on how to increasemembership of unions in Queensland. That works well. My wife applied for a job using here engineering degree and was told that the Premeir prefered to have union membership approved before applying. There is wide spread belief here that the Election was corrupt. So look forward to more scams and lies from these vile prople as they wallow around in the money earned from the games.

What an absolute waste of money we don’t have,the states already in crippling debt ($100+ billion). The travel industry is on the brink of collapse and the highest unemployment rate in Australia. Here’s an idea,use the money to build some dams,power stations and get manufacturing back in Australia.

No Mr Morrison How good ISN'T QLD with the likes of Pathetic, Disgusting and Extremely Poorly Behaving Steven Miles in relation to the a/c from NSW with Quarantine. Of course QLD Govt should pay as it's a no-brainer. Please spare us any more of this spoilt Brat he's got to go.

There's a very good reason why there were no other bids. What country can afford to host an Olympic Games anymore? Certainly not bankrupt Queensland!

Queensland would be better off if Anna didn't care more for the Olympics than her own state. And the only area that will mostly benefit from it is Brisbane..

If we didn't hate the Qld govt so much this may have been something to celebrate 🙁

How much is this going to cost, we are struggling as a state financially now .

HELLS GATE DAM WOULD GENERATES MORE WEALTH.

All these politicians ever do is piss our tax payer money up against the wall.

Who cares about something in 11 years when the economy gets destroyed right now before our eyes and society divisions created by one sided narratives that a mass injection plan is allegedly needed and the 'only way out'. 🤦‍♂️🤣

Who really cares Brisbane will be left with a giant white elephant just like Homebush

Where is our water security, bugger t he bloody games😡😡😡 ,pluckaduck knows how to waste our taxpayer dollars😡😡

We don't want it .Another typical south east qld gov making decisions that benefit Brisbane at the expense of the rest of the state ....ie we all own the debt .

How bloody dumb is QLD more like!

Queensland can’t afford to hold the Olympics, ffs. We can’t even fix the main highway here so how on earth can we afford the games?

Well not good news for Queensland people as we will be the ones paying for our PalateJack to walk the red carpet and drink Champagne 🥂 while we get taxed to death and miss out on funds for important things!!! Not happy 🤬

Big Deal! (not)

Not happy Jan. Qld is in such dire straits we can't afford this.. cutting services is happening now..

Scott Morrison. Biggest waste of tax payers money ever How many KM of rail upgrades? How many km of road up grades? How many nurses and Drs? How many ??? All going to waste for a fortnight of an Athletics carnival with doped up cheats! Oh wait it will be called off due to SARS - Covid 2032

We don't need it. It is only a chest beating exercise for politicians. The money would be better spent on Australians, particularly Pensioners, who work they guts out until the reach retirement age and then they are expected to survive on the miserable Pension.

Many more important things to spend money on than this. Comm games is a great example of why we do not need the Olympics!

It's a money Pitt and tbh we can't afford it, The Olympics is fast becoming a Dinosaur.

The running of the Commonwealth games was a joke and a waste of tax payers money. Can't see the Olympics being any better. As a Queenslander, I'm not excited.

Have a vote, the voters don't want the Olympics. We have learned to live within our means. Not just keep passing every dream event onto the tax payers of Queensland.

Everytime I hear/see articulate David Crisafulli displaying great leadership, I despair for the lost opportunity we had at the election to take the Palaszcuk govt down. If David was leader then I believe so much would be different...Roll on 2025 and keep up the pressure David.

Granted but over the 80% of a few decades have been under Labor rule - let’s hope somebody dies something soon, the death count is mounting

Well, I really hope so David because this Labor government in QLD have done absolutely NOTHING ABOUT THE CRIME RATE and they have been in power for years. Then you have Palaszczuk turning up at sites where innocent people have been killed to show her respect. what a joke she is.

Well said. There needs to be consequences. At 17 you are not a child. You can drive, and almost vote for heavens sake. Start treating these 17 year old offenders like adults and punish them accordingly. Lets keep our streets safe and secure.

Hands up who voted labor.

Labor is a disaster. It always has been and always will be.

Guys ! A serious incident occured on the weekend. Some upstart was contesting the Family Court with a huge banner in Brisbane saying "end the war on dads in family court". The secret is getting out that our system is corrupt, bias broken and geared towards profit instead of children , we need to do something about this ???

Where were all the Labor people during this speech. Do they do the same as Federal Labor, just walk out when the LNP pollies are talking. The seats seemed to be empty and there was no child like interjecting like you normally hear.

All the way with David J.

I Believe Youth Crime could become changed and be of a new better day.

Stuck it the liaring labor they have ruined qld God help qld

Hey David, What a waste of fuel, 4 Years Mate. See you then when you get some spine, You are there for the People not yours or Crisafullis ideas. The only Politician that has the guts is Katter, take a leaf out of his book & then you will be come a Man.

Blame game? How about a better future for young people.

What, sucking extra money for the perks, weather you had them or not, or what.

I don't think the LNP should really and I mean really be patting themselves on the back for their work on crime after failing to stop a serial rapist staffer from sexually assaulting four women.. wake up LNP clean your act up. This is beyond acceptable

Bad car jacking in mackay today.. this state police minister should be sacked.

Blah Blah Blah, oh yeah, plus blah blah.

You lot should stay home save us some money and do what normal ppl want as that is ensure the constitution of 1901 is upheld and remain within a reasonable budget not always running around trying to get your name in the history book to the point where our rights have been eroded and we now live in a socialist state the very thing our forefathers went to war to prevent

Good idea same system as the U K

Well said but you can’t get the message across to this bunch of peanuts in the Qld Government.

Labor knows the laws need changing but are too selfish to change them because they didn’t think of them - that’s how pig headed they are

Blah, blah, blah. Give the power to the people and communities to fix their own social issues and things will be just fine. You idiots in Brisbane can't even behave like adults so why should we trust you with the future of our kids.

The dumb Labor premier should hang her head in shame she has done nothing to curb youth crime ,she just ignores what is happening

All talk that’s about it

Labor will not hurt there next generations of voters

Wow sounds so simple, Wonder why it hasn't happened, Much of the solution to toad trauma is driver training, All drivers should do advance driver training, Schools should all have driver education classes which should include practical driver training & handling a car in emergency, hazard identification not just how to park your car & what the road signs mean.

How sad, that adults are listening to a kid, yet motorists have been expressing their concerns for years. You have parents teaching their kids to drive and stay in the left lane, tailgate at the lights. Than you got 20 minute driving tests, where’s the test in 20 minutes, than you have immigrates given a licence by transport. Kids are driving too young, the whole point of public transport out the door. But the moral of our registration increase every pay raise is also for road improvements, this doesn’t happen fast enough let along with quality work. Ridiculous that your listening to a kid, when adults have had concerns for decades.

She will make an excellent teacher one day!

Watch this girl. We shall hear more of her.

Should be compulsory in all secondary schools. Not hard to figure.

First it was Aunty Deb preaching at us and now a little school girl. If you want to win the next election you need to wake up to yourselves and start talking adult to adult about things that matter.

www.youchooseyrs.org.au is a really good program that schools can choose to run

RUSTED ON QUIET AUSSIE VOTERS /ZOMBIES , HAVE A LOT TO ANSWER FOR There is a current cruelty probe into treatment of OZ cattle at point of slaughter in Indonesia ,same as the Report which resulted in the 5 week stoppage of Live Cattle Exports by the Gillard Govt .. It is taking so long that it seems the Govt wants us to forget that the probe exists ...maybe it is under the carpet. Hopefully the probe will report on the reasons people behave this cruel way /Religion / Media /Trickle Down message from Govt/ TV programmes etc So why are we NOT having a probe into the causes of the alleged War Crimes by OZ Special Forces ???????????? Certainly, it appears that Fox News played a big part in radicalizing the far right in the USA.. It was a far-right OZ Lone Wolf Terrorist who killed the 50 people in NZ. So is Sky News playing a part in the increased Far Right Terrorist problem that we have in OZ that our Govt rarely mentions, there are plenty of Trolls with no ID photo etc on the Internet protecting some Politicians & no effort by the Politicians to remove them. Is NewsCorp & the ABC jibba jabba contributing to the Far Right .. Recently the most prominent ex ABC Journalist now retired Kerry Obrien interviewed the longest serving female Premier & Premier of Qld for 1 hour & never mentioned the secret , above dam yield , scam releases from Tinaroo Dam for the Qld Govt Barron River Hydro to dump in the ocean which had many adverse effects on the Water Market including the purchase of a lot of dirt-cheap Barron Allocation by the foreign owned Table Sugar Mill company, the amount is still unknown. Another adverse effect was because the Cairns Council supported the scam by not purchasing Tinaroo Dam allocation at prices as low as $400 per ML , Cairns people missed out /price is now $4000 We are expected to believe that Tax Cuts for the high-income people has a Trickle-Down effect to the low-income people but secret bad behaviour by Politicians does not ; how dumb does ScoMo & Co think these Zombies are ? is the prosecution of Whistle Blowers part of the ScoMo & Co strategy ? is the refusal by the Morrison Govt to install a proper ICAC part of their agenda ? will the penny drop in the Zombies heads or are we looking at a Zombie attack on Capitol Hill in Canberra after the next election..? It is worthy of note that Zombies come in all shapes & sizes many are well educated many with Uni Degrees ..

Great work team.

she couldn’t lie straight in bed

He looks like a good man ⚔️🌑✌️🌹🙏🏻. God be with him.

And yet the Federal Liberals vote against a National ICAC.

The rules must apply to all.

He’s thinking how he’s suckin such a good wage for just repeating information relayed to him. The other pollies are there hoping they can suck some false credit, or what.

Out doing Scotty from marketing for meaninglessness press events.

More finger pointing and innuendo and still no solutions to real problems. You people are liars, cheats and insufferable fools. Better trade your bus in on a commuter because that's all the seats you will need to fill after the next election unless you start acting on behalf of the constituency instead of your oligarch benefactors. Shame, shame, shame

All yap yap

Whats the count now for ruined women to get and keep this current federal governement. 2 or 3 rapes, 1 defense minstervsent carzy..... Geez.. Good jon libs. You look after women.

WE NEED WASTE TO ENERGY Donna Power STATION AND WE NEED IT BUILD NOW

Palaszckuk can not be trusted

Rapes the country and does nothing, yet rape in the house and covers it up

There are more important things you should be focussing on than 20 emails.

Oh look he brought a couple of noddies with him.

Oh no! Now Linda Reynolds has gone on sick leave - now there's a surprise and how convenient! Poor Brittany I truly feel for you love and I hope you wised up and got out of politics ! What a dirty motley crew!!!!! Shame on you LNP you are all grubs!

Yes you are correct, we are stuck with the United Nations controlled AUSTRALIAN Govern-mess, yes sadly these craven traitors in the LNP or LABOR have always agreed to and been advised by the UN agents in OUR COUNTRY, the UN Lima agreement 46 years ago, then 29 years ago again betraying us for the UN, agreeing to UN agenda 21, but Wait it didn't stop there, 6 years ago these same treasonous politicians of each party , LNP or LABOR , it doesn't matter who is in GOVERN-MESS at the time, they all are controlled and obligated to their agreements with the GLOBALISTS instrument the United Nations, yes just 6 years ago the then PM Malcolm Turnbull and Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, betrayed us AGAIN and signed the UN agenda 2030 Climate Change and Sustainable Development inventions, how corrupt can they get, do your own research, see how many UN agents are in our COUNTRY, remember for the past 46 years after the UN Lima Agreement, the LNP or LABOR/GANG-GREENS have been all the same treason on behalf of the UN. >>>>>>>Dictionary definition; Treason is when a person acts against his/ her country. ... A treasonous person is called a traitor. Outside the field of law, the word "traitor" can be used to describe a person who betrays a group to which he or she belongs.in this case the AUSTRALIAN PEOPLE. >>>>>>SO, WHAT IS THE POINT OF BEING INJECTED????? This is what our GOVERN-MESS MP’s are telling us????Here are 12 important questions and answers before considering getting vaccinated: ●"If I get vaccinated can I stop wearing a mask(s)?" Government: "NO" ●"If I get vaccinated will the restaurants, bars, schools, fitness clubs, hair salons, etc. reopen and will people be able to get back to work like normal? Government: "NO" ●"If I get vaccinated will I be resistant to Covid?" Government: "Maybe. We don't know exactly, but probably not." ●"If I get vaccinated, at least I won't be contagious to others - right?" Government: "NO. the vaccine doesn’t stop transmission." ●"If I get vaccinated, how long will the vaccine last?" Government: "No one knows. All Covid "vaccines" are still in the experimental stage." ● "If I get vaccinated, can I stop social distancing?" Government: "NO" ● "If my parents, grandparents and myself all get vaccinated can we hug each other again?" Government: "NO" ● "So what's the benefit of getting vaccinated?" Government: "Hoping that the virus won't kill you." ●"Are you sure the vaccine won't injure or kill me?" Government: "NO" ●"If statistically the virus won't kill me (99.7% survival rate), why should I get vaccinated?" Government: "To protect others." ●"So if I get vaccinated, I can protect 100% of people I come in contact with?" Government: "NO" ● "If I experience a severe adverse reaction, long term effects (still unknown) or die from the vaccine will I (or my family) be compensated from the vaccine manufacture or the Government?" Government: "NO - the government and vaccine manufactures have 100% zero liability regarding this experimental drug" So to summarize, the Covid19 "vaccine"... Does not provide immunity Does not eliminate the virus Does not prevent death Does not guarantee you won’t get it Does not stop you from passing it on to others Does not eliminate the need for travel bans Does not eliminate the need for business closures Does not eliminate the need for lockdowns Does not eliminate the need for masking If after reading this you still decide to get the "vaccine"...GOOD LUCK & DON'T SAY YOU WEREN'T

OK here's an idea. If the LNP are going to attack our Premier and get to the bottom of rorting and all the rubbish that is supposed to be going on in Parliament House, how about the Federal Government come clean and do something about the Predator that had sex and raped Brittany. No different and the same situation. You talk about coming clean, credibility, transparency, well my God! what hypocrits. You go gunning for Pluckaduck but you can't clean up your own back yard. And NO I'm not Labor or a Labor troll, but you are being very hypocritical and showing your grubby side!!!!!

Go get her she is so corrupt everybody else knew except the fools that voted her back in

Making breach of bail an offence won’t make any difference and in fact I will say that it should not be an offence. Breach of bail creates a power of arrest and that is all it needs to be. It is up to the judiciary to treat offences committed on bail to be more severely dealt with. I am an LNP Member and an experienced prosecutor. It’s all very well for David and Tim to stand up and make noises but it shows that they don’t have much understanding of the system.

How long before the next election - good start so far. You are standing out from the pack which is what is needed! Now don't go and blow it by saying something stupid or doing something stupid. And don't turn your back on coal until there's a viable alternative!!

Great work and we need to change the culture. Our judiciary is letting us down and we need to be able to push them along. I saw an Aborigionl Elder Talking on TV She was great and was telling us when her kids get into trouble they have to go before the elders and then they are made to feel that they have done wrong. May be once again we need to learn from the Aborigional community. We are not doing so well.

LNP must fight harder here in QLD be strong and loud , but I bet not

I am totally fed up with the Queensland State government and their inability to toughen up on the youth who are making a mockery of the system. There are too many lives being lost and not enough being done by the justice system. These youths have no respect for lives and property and will continue to flaunt the system unless action is taken to deter them from committing the atrocious crimes they think are nothing but a joke. Anna and her cohorts need to take some responsibility in caretaking the people of Queensland because we pay the taxes to pay their wages but they are not doing their job.

@sandybotham youtu.be/4M5JLJh7FIk The lyrics in this are spot on

Can any one tell me what has happened to the Paradise Dam stuff up?

Please give it to them they are so incompetent.

Sort of like the repeat rapes from an LNP staffer? 🤷

But the commo premier will not do that she won't admit she was wrong.

You will need to keep the pressure on as this matter is a major issue if we are to get changes to our policies. Keep the good work up NLP.

This won’t work Can I suggest a more scary Avenue to go down. Maybe you could contact me thru messenger and I can tell you what a lot of people would like see happen

Thank you David Queenslanders are already on your side. I cannot believe the pathetic incompetence and lack of care for our State by this disgraceful Labor government.

Funny how there is no evidence to support the claim that tougher penalties act as a deterrence.

It’s ling hard road, as the current times, the left is having all medias behind them. Need to be two terms, they out.

Liberal Party of Australia needs to speak up more often, possibly, pressure needed.

Go David !

Well said.

They are progressives. Therefore they have no gumption on these issues lest they be seen or accused of being racist, or too tough on kids. THAT is their only perspective Anna P and left have. NOT doing what needs to be done with no favour to those who pull the race card. RACE has nothing to do with it. Doesn't matter whether the brats are brown or white THEY ARE behaving like criminal shitz and the law id NOT defining the boundaries because of weak policies that let everyone down

Talk is cheap, if you were in power nothing would Change, Anyway only 4 years too go. Proper Organised Vigilance the only way.

The Laws in this State are Pathetic Pathetic ! If you take a life you should get life unless it’s an accident then it’s Manslaughter ! Pedophiles a sentence for each child they molest !

Team America....Fuck yeah...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1mlCPMYtPk

Who's nabbing the criminals I stalking the dark corners of Canberra? Gutless wonders.

PM Morrison, this should be on a case to case basis. There are a lot of people out there who would prefer not to work and just keep receiving free money. Too many free loaders in our country right now. Here I am working my arse off each day. Just gives me the sh*ts. You should instead extend the support to the local businesses and help them get workers.

$3.60 a day?!? You lot a mean miserable bunch I swear.

I agree with a lot of pensioners. We worked hard to get to the pension age where most of the unemployed don’t and won’t work. We did not get any pay rise last year and don’t hold your breath this year. Remember Scommo we vote.

not all unemployed now dont want to work sheesh , no one is asking for much just enough so they can live and can pay bills even phones and cars so can get a job.. yet you wont stop the spending on international students or stop giving away jobs to other countries .. you are allowing immigration to come in and take jobs.. honestly if we are going to get economy up and running again , yes dont over spend on welfare , but also cut your own wages and perks that tax payers pay for

Keep spending scomo when the country's broke it's broke ???

Increase job seeker for job Haters and grow the welfare state— the good old Fabian and globalist UN agenda!

With conditions

Pensioners would love that $3.5/day. We have worked all our lives and I mean worked.....everything gone up except our age pension.

you are a goose mate. Pensioners are dieing because they cannot buy food. Do you care NO! You had a massive pay rise and super and give nothing to other people. You ard just greedy Mr. Morrison

Good speech.everyone always wants more! Leadership qualities

What a joke especially to those of us that can’t get disability for genuine permanent illnesses. $50 fn pfffft & why are parenting payment getting the increase. They already get $150 fn more which is why so many keep popping kids out. Leave that as is then give all jobseekers a fairer increase 😡

Get a job then you’ll have more money

what about us poor pensioners

Both Old Age and Disability Pensions need an increase to cover the increasing cost of living as well.

And what do pensioners get?? We still have the right to vote.

Dear all. Labor are posting a list of cross benchers to email to oppose the news legislation re work reform. We should counter by sending emails saying we approve. Here is the what they are saying “The best course of action now is to contact the cross bench senators and ask them to stand up for workers. Cross bench senators have done it before with the anti-union bill and they could do it again.”

Most of them don’t want to work about 99% l reckon.they get to much money and that’s a fact

i reckon time in service on the dole dictates your allowance , older- lower- newer- higher- pensioners should get a raise

That’s is all well and good. But what about the pensioners. The oldies who paid tax all their lives.

Wankers

What a joke, $3.5/day ? Rent, Groceries and other expenses have gone up by 25%. why government doesn't release data to show how many people on Centrelink payments have university degrees ? Remove state sponsorship ! Have a look at skilled migration list and advertised jobs ! You will laugh ! Do we really need chief, plumber ....when Tafe students and locals can't get a job ? When Australia has over 130000 Uni graduates per year ? Or this is a good way of making money from visa application fees ? Global talent visa is the only visa Australia should focus on for innovation and starts up !

I just finished watching the ABC's The Drum. Lots of questions being asked about the future for our industries and our people. I have answers and solutions to the problems but does state and federal government have the fortitude to embrace these solutions that are disputatious with their ideological vanity? 1. We must divorce SEQ. Brisbane is like a pedophile guardian that won't acknowledge our concerns and contrast because we are their competitor not their partner. We need to cut ties and go it alone to face the challenges and dynamics that are peculiar to our region. SEQ will never understand who and what we are therefore will never respect our uniqueness give us our dues. 2. If you are born and raised in a rural community like ours you have most likely lived an outdoors life and have been exposed to multi skilling. Our community is not big enough to foster academia and specialized industries found in populous locations so we need to be afforded versatility which is incongruent with onerous OH&S compliance and rigid job qualifications that costs both businesses and employees money and time that would be better spent on self-development and enterprise. 3. We have to look North instead of South to foster and create partnerships and relationships with other countries in Asia and set ourselves up as a trading location as well a tourism location. We have the potential to feed almost half the world with all of our primary production capability. We also have all of the elements for producing constant clean energy. If the governments are interested and brave enough to embrace this foresight, they will need people that are passionate, capable and bombastic which ironically exist here in Far North Queensland. We don't need guarantor or an entourage, we just need a platform from which to leap and a tether to our cornerstone. Lastly, we need courage, conviction, self-belief and purposeful determination.

You guys really are desperate to move the news away from all the sexual assaults that have been covered up in your offices aren't you? Good Luck with that!

GREEDY LYING DISGUSTING LITTLE CORRUPT LNP liberal /National Party

It’s safe. It’s free. It’s voluntary. Our vaccine program is underway and evidence shows it will stop you from getting seriously ill with #COVID19.

Zoe Park, Professor Rhonda Stuart and Gayathry Vellangalloor Srinivasan were three of the first Australians and frontline workers to get vaccinated against #COVID19 today.

Zoe is a nurse who works in the Gold Coast University Hospital COVID-19 ward. Rhonda is head of infection control at Monash Health. Her team treated the first COVID-19 case confirmed in January last year as well as Victoria’s last coronavirus patient to be discharged from hospital in November, at the end of state’s second wave. Gayathry is a quarantine worker in New South Wales.

Other states and territories have also already started, or are about to start, their vaccination programs at the 16 Pfizer hubs across Australia.

As we rollout the COVID-19 vaccines across the country, I’m asking as many Australians as possible to come forward to be vaccinated, to protect themselves, their families and their communities from this highly infectious disease.

Frankly I dont care about this vaccine roll-out I want to know what you are doing about the Canberra RAPE Bubble NOW!

Happy, happy, stabbie, stabbie, jabbie, jabbie.

Contrary to the first sentence of this article ,its going to be very hard to determine, if/ how the so called vaccine works to stop you getting seriously ill with Covid cos there is little or no Covid to prevent FGS. So it is also not promoted to prevent Covid, as Shakespeare said," a lot ado about nothing " me thinks.

I’ll tell you what. I’ll wait around a year, I’ll see how your all doing. 😏

all this heavy advertising about this vaccine makes one wonder why. is it that the government IS NOT SURE ABOUT IT. I have never seen anything like it and i am in my 70's

Voluntary for. How long.

With the fact that there is a 99.7% chance of recovery and all the negatives with no guarantees on immunity , why would one want to risk serious illness/side affects on an experimental DNA based jab? Why would one want permanent adverse DNA damage?

I'm not getting it, unless there's restrictions on traveling interstate. I couldn't careless if they only restrict overseas travel, which would be likely as some countries will put travel bans on.

I refuse to be a guinea pig for this ill-conceived product. It has too many unknowns, such as: 1. How long will it provide protection? 2. Will you be able to transmit COVID after the jab? 3. How effective is it? 4. Can you contract COVID-19 after being injected? 5. Is m-RNA a safe technology to use? 6. What are the long-term side effects? 7. Why are politicians pretending to receive the injection when the photo ops show caps on and the wrongs needles being used? 8. Why is the public being starved of contrary opinions relating to the vaccine? Finally, I do NOT trust politicians and senior health public servants who are lacking in an abundance of caution.

I guess it will be our turn soon enough. I think we're old? I don't feel it, but I'm sure I will soon find out, lol.

There’s no such thing as a free meal. There’s always a catch! Particularly when is stated as voluntary and there’s already talks of potential limitations for movement locally, nationally and internationally as well a potential requirement for work and socialisation!

How do you know it’s safe? It hasn’t had any long term data collection. That’s just a lie. But then again, politicians always lie.

Hard pass for me and the family thanks.

How many shares do u have in Pfizer and Astrazeneca?

Then remove the immunity from prosecution for the manufactures Scotty! Why do they have one? Because as you say - Its Safe!

Onya every one, I can't wait for mine .

If it's safe, like you state, Lift the no fault liability clause you have for the Vaccine companies and the government, If you won't do that, STFU

Well it looks like covid will be around for some time to come . The vast majority of people will be taking the vaccine according to polls in several countries but the number refusing the vaccine is high enough that scientists are doubtful we will reach herd immunity so well done to the scare mongers, it looks like you might have ensured that covid sticks around long enough to mutate into many different varieties.'

I don't see how you can have real evidence within 24 hours of its release, I am a sceptic I know, but with good reason this time.

Question: if it is indeed guaranteed safe as above mentioned, can the supplying company be now held liable for potential unsafe outcomes as a result?

Why keep saying its safe...ITS SAFE... maybe in 12-18 months you could say that..but not yet ..Because you dont know.. really know, from personal experuence You are just repeating what Bill Gates of Hell and Fibbing Faucci say AT least Zuckerberg had the temerity to question the DNA factor.. ME THINKS THOU DOST PROTEST TOO MUCH

Is it really voluntary?

Let’s see how many people develop Bell’s palsy 😳

Better vax then no vax

Mobile UploadsAustralia is 1 of 9 nations to hold a AAA credit rating after Fitch Ratings reaffirmed our rating today.

Fitch says we have "weathered the pandemic well compared with peers” and “Australia's labour market appears to be on a stable path to recovery, supported by the JobKeeper program.”

But not Victoria's , Covid was blamed but that was total rubbish , it was the massive borrowings of this profligate Andrews non- government .

That's great work Josh, but the party made a serious mistake today letting Craig go.

Conveniently left out the bit where they revised Australia's economic outlook from stable to negative though.

I’m loving this historic event! More debt than anytime is Australia’s history! Before covid hit! Keep up the good economic management!

Just keep them tax’s coming and we will allways be love by the elites .

This is astonishing how anybody including Governments can have a credit rating of AAA if your debt equates to 50% of your income....🤔🤔

Josh best treasurer ever .

When will the discussion of increasing the GST begin?

Well done guys. We knew it anyway.

That means they want to get us in more debt. More countries want more money.

How's inflation going Josh please explain

You had the blueprint for economic recovery and yet still managed to make a hash of it. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

How’s unemployment going?

Not in Victoria Dan stuffed it up for us

Well done, nothing like doling out extra money to welfare but watching small business go under due to not losing quite enough money to get benefits.

BS

Why is our dollar so low on the GBP, USD, EUR and YEN? Surely we should be smashing the USD and EUR based on covid factors? Noob wanting answers pls!

Scott Morrison and LNP can take a bow.

John Mcgrath

Well done LNP. Thank goodness Labor lost the election, just imagine the trouble we would be in if Shorten was running the country.

Bit of fake news from the lefts propaganda machine.

Ohhh so this is why you're chasing down money for media friends?

Well done guys

Telling Porkie pies again are we

How’s Queensland’s?
