FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Queensland Deputy Premier and Treasurer Andrew Fraser has called on Liberal National Party (LNP) leader Campbell Newman to tell voters when his party would deliver a budget surplus.
The Queensland government has announced a return to surplus in 2014/15, one year ahead of schedule.
But Mr Fraser says the LNP still can’t say when it would bring the budget back to surplus.
“For a party who claims to have the best interests of Queensland’s economy front and centre, this simply isn’t good enough,” he said in a statement.
“We’ve played our part by making Queensland’s economic position clear in the recent mid year review.
“Now is the time for them to cut the rhetoric and tell us when they’ll actually deliver.”
Mr Fraser says the LNP has made more than $5 billion worth of promises ahead of the March 24 election, but has given no detail of how a LNP government would pay for them.
Opposition treasury spokesman Tim Nicholls says it’s Labor that is keeping the funding of its election promises secret.
Labor hasn’t said how it will fund Townsville’s paediatric intensive care unit or new plans to extend Brisbane’s riverside South Bank parklands, Mr Nicholls said.
He also labelled Labor’s planned surplus “dubious”, saying it was: “manufactured by playing with the timing of disaster recovery money” from the federal government.
“In the original budget, Andrew Fraser said the deficit in 2014/15 would be $529 million,” Mr Nicholls said.
“Just six months later in the mid-year budget update, the underlying deficit had blown out to $1.16 billion once the disaster assistance advance was removed.”
Mr Newman is addressing the Queensland Chamber of Commerce and Industry later on Monday.
