FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Federal Opposition Leader Tony Abbott has drawn on what he says are Labor failings in Queensland and nationally to tout Campbell Newman as the answer to all of the state’s woes.
It wasn’t so long ago that Mr Newman, the then-Brisbane lord mayor, denied he’d enter state politics.
But on Sunday the Liberal National Party (LNP) leader stood before about 1000 MPs, candidates and supporters to launch his Queensland election campaign.
Mr Newman thanked his colleagues and family, outlined his achievements in local government and detailed some of the 60 policies already announced by the LNP.
He made just a handful of new promises, choosing instead to spend much of his speech focusing on Labor’s failings.
“We are ready to put an end to the talk, to the broken promises, to the circus that has become Labor in Queensland,” Mr Newman said.
“Labor thinks this election is all about their political survival … they certainly don’t think it’s about Queenslanders.
“That’s why (Premier) Anna Bligh has spent this campaign talking about (former prime minister) Kevin Rudd.”
Mr Abbott earlier offered up his predictions for the March 24 poll.
“The people of Queensland will not elect a hung parliament,” he said.
“I can’t stop (Prime Minister) Julia Gillard from giving Anna Bligh a job in Canberra along with all the other failed state Labor premiers, but I am so proud to be helping Campbell Newman deny Anna Bligh a job here in Queensland.”
Federal Nationals Leader Warren Truss said the whole country was aching to punish Labor.
“In Western Australia, Victoria and NSW the people have already passed judgement and now for Queenslanders it’s our time to say we’ve had enough,” Mr Truss said.
“Queensland needs a new man. Campbell New-man.”
Mr Newman promised an LNP government would assess and overhaul the state’s child protection system.
While he has heavily criticised Ms Bligh’s plan to funnel mining royalties into education, Mr Newman announced a plan to spend royalties on education, health, sporting facilities and roads in Queensland’s regions.
Having already promised to upgrade the Bruce Highway between Brisbane and Cairns, Mr Newman committed $1 billion to the project.
RACQ spokesman Paul Turner welcomed the promised funding, telling AAP the money “could save lives” if spent on improving safety on dangerous and neglected sections of the highway.
