The Opposition Leader’s “small-target” approach to October’s election has drawn criticism from both Labor and the last LNP colleague to run the state.
Queensland Premier Steven Miles has accused his opponent of trying to be “the tiniest little ball of a small target” for his pledge to adopt most measures in Labor’s budget before it is even announced.
“If projects are fully funded, if they’re in the budget, if they’re under way – good governments, good oppositions honour those,” Crisafulli told journalists in Townsville on Wednesday.Miles made his remarks at a Queensland Day event where he announced renewable energy and jobs spending would ramp up to $26 billion over four years, labelling such investment key to regional jobs.
“My cabinet hasn’t even endorsed the budget yet, but the Leader of the Opposition has? We all know what they’re trying to do, right?” he told the room of political, business and community leaders.
