Funeral Emissions Inquiry A Waste of Money
The Leader of The Queensland Party Leader, Aidan McLindon, has
today slammed a parliamentary inquiry into the environmental
impact of funerals as a complete waste of taxpayers' money.
"This inquiry shows a government that is completely out of touch
with the concerns of everyday Queenslanders, such as the soaring
cost of living," said Mr McLindon.
"It is absurd that a parliamentary committee is now wasting
taxpayers' revenue on an inquiry into emissions controls on
burials and cremations. The last thing grieving Queensland
families are interested in is being directed by a rampant
bureaucracy to alter their preferred funeral practices to meet
some ridiculous emission standard."
"This will not save the environment, but will only mean that even
in death Queenslanders are unable to escape the clutches of
government bureaucracy gone mad."
"The Queensland Party supports climate policy that will reduce
temperatures rather than raise taxes and costs."
