FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda One hundred days after winning office, Campbell Newman says he feels daunted waking up each morning knowing Queensland’s debt in $100 notes would be high enough to reach space.
The Newman government marks 100 days in office on Tuesday after its landslide victory in March.
Mr Newman, who is celebrating the milestone in Mackay and Toowoomba, says he has achieved everything his government set out to do in its first 100-day action plan.
This includes freezing the standard electricity tariff, freezing family car registration for the next three years, reinstating stamp duty concessions for home buyers and establishing various taskforces to tackle environment, education and other issues.
He says real measures have been taken to reduce the cost of living for families.
“The biggest thing we have done is deliver commitments to cut or freeze a whole range of charges,” Mr Newman told AAP.
He has also broken promises, including winding back solar power subsidies, watering down same-sex civil union laws and introducing a bill to ban gay couples, singles and de facto couples in new relationships from having a child through altruistic surrogacy.
The former Brisbane mayor has also flagged public-sector job cuts, starting with temporary contract workers this week.
Mr Newman says there are 20,000 public servants too many and warns tough decisions need to be made.
An interim audit of the state’s books warns debt will balloon to $100 billion by 2018/19 without radical action.
“Every morning I wake up thinking about trying to balance the budget and being sensible about what government spends,” Mr Newman said.
“It’s quite daunting and every day that sense of responsibility to sort this out and get Queensland back on track is what drives me.”
Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk says Mr Newman’s 100 days have been disappointing, full of broken and unrealistic promises.
“How is he going to reduce Queensland’s electricity bills?” she asked.
“This is a commitment he made that he’s finding very hard to meet.”
With only seven MPs, the Labor leader’s first 100 days in opposition have been tough.
