00:00
The Queensland LNP, the election, have revealed their pre-election commitments will cost $7.12
00:09
billion and they won't be making any additional borrowings to fund those.
00:13
Now, they're going to create a department called the Queensland Government Consulting.
00:18
Now, that department would look to cut the expenditure on private consulting that the
00:23
LNP has said has blown out.
00:26
The LNP says that it can save the state almost $7 billion by doing this.
00:31
Now, Labor has also revealed their costings today.
00:34
They say their pre-election commitments will cost almost $10 billion and that will be funded
00:39
through additional borrowings.
00:41
Now, that funds things like the 50 cent public transport fares, the opening of 50 new GP
00:47
bulk billing clinics, as well as free lunches for state school kids.
00:51
Now, Labor Treasurer Cameron Dick says the LNP's plan doesn't stack up.
00:56
He says there's simply not that money there to cut and the LNP will have to make cuts
01:01
to the public sector to fund those promises.
01:04
Now, the LNP Shadow Treasurer David Janetzky says that the Labor Party is simply not delivered
01:10
on any of the promises that it's made around spending and only the LNP can rein in those
01:15
cuts and debt.
01:17
Now, over 1.2 million Queenslanders have already cast their votes at early voting centres ahead
01:22
of polling day on Saturday, which is around a third of the voting population.
