Reducing Labor Government waste rather than hitting Queenslanders with higher taxes and fees
Delivering better services and infrastructure for every taxpayer dollar invested
Attracting economic investment to Queensland
Properly maintaining our power plants
Driving-down the cost-of-living by reducing traffic congestion
Driving-down the cost-of-living by investing in natural disaster mitigation
Reducing state and local government red tape for individuals and businesses
Streamlining government processes that are stifling small and family businesses
Increasing opportunities and productivity for small and family businesses and their staff
Investing in vocational training and the skills for our future
Delivering opportunities for small and family businesses to compete for state government work
Improving payment terms for small and family businesses
Creating investment opportunities in Queensland for the Defence industry
“Queensland needs stability, tax certainty and less regulation, not the steepest cost-of-living increases in the nation.”

The Madden
Family’s Story
Like many families, they usually run their air-conditioning throughout summer to keep cool. This year, they fear they’ll be forced to switch to fans because of rising electricity costs.
For Kimberley and Adrian, skyrocketing cost-of-living is having a real impact on their everyday lives and they believe the State Government should be taking action to stop energy prices increasing.
“Families like ours are struggling with the cost-of-living. Our water has increased, rental prices have gone up and electricity is going up. We’re concerned we may not be able to afford the luxury of air-conditioning this Summer. Bringing down electricity prices needs to be a priority for the State Government.”
– Kimberley
Cost-of-Living
Relief
Queenslanders know the failures of this Government are being felt in their hip pocket.
Governments should be driving-down costs for Queenslanders, not inflating cost pressures during a cost-of-living crisis, but under this Labor Government, Queensland has faced the steepest cost-of-living pressures in the nation.
When a government fails to invest in our road network, it’s Queensland motorists who see their fuel bills grow through rising congestion.
When a government fails to properly maintain our power plants, forcing them to go offline for years, it’s Queensland households and businesses that pay more for electricity.
When a government lets youth crime get out of control, it’s Queenslanders who see the cost of their insurance go through the roof.
When a government fails to invest in natural disaster mitigation, it’s Queenslanders who see their insurance premiums become unaffordable.
One of the most important priorities for Queenslanders is a government that is helping reduce cost-of-living pressures.
An LNP Government will prioritise structural cost-ofliving relief for Queenslanders, while still delivering the services Queenslanders need and expect.
We will put a stop to the fundamental failures of government that are driving up costs for families. That’s why an LNP Government will keep our power plants properly maintained to minimise unexpected repairs and increase reliability.
At a time when Queenslanders need to carefully manage their household budgets, an LNP Government will carefully manage the State Budget. Wherever possible, we will reduce the tax burden on Queenslanders, because we believe your money is better in your pocket than the Government’s pocket.
