LNP Leaves Door Open to Asset Sales
Queensland Party Leader, Aidan McLindon, has put the ALP and LNP
on notice in the Mackay Regional Sitting of State Parliament
today that asset sales will continue to be an issue in the lead
up to the next state election.
“Premier Bligh responded to my question in Parliament today
regarding new asset sales stating that her government has ended
its program of sell-offs. I thank the Premier for her response
but will leave it up to ordinary Queenslanders to determine the
credibility of her answer.”
“It’s concerning the LNP are already flagging new sell-offs given
85% of Queenslanders were against the last fire sale.”
“It’s now time for Mr Newman to outline the LNP’s position. His
continued silence after alluding to the possibility of further
privatisation of state assets can only be seen as the LNP leaving
the door open to another round of sales.”
“It’s no secret that one of the LNP’s key policy platforms is the
privatisation of the states assets which was one of the reasons I
left the LNP to form The Queensland Party.”
Today, in her response to my question, the Premier stated:
“We undertook a very rigorous examination and everyone knows the
outcome of it. What I do know is that the new leader of the LNP
has identified that there is room for more sell-offs including,
and I use his words, ‘the remaining coal terminals and
outsourcing the electricity power grid’. I can guarantee that
Labor has done its program. We have made that public and we have
achieved it. I cannot guarantee for the member for Beaudesert
what will happen with this mob.”
