With just two days to the election, both major parties formally spelt out how they planned to pay for all the promises. But questions remain.
A Queensland LNP government would “stabilise” spending on external consultants and contractors to help pay for their $7.1 billion in costed election pledges, the shadow treasurer says.
Opposition treasury spokesman David Janetzki delivered the LNP’s election policy costings on Thursday – without leader David Crisafulli by his side.But his party’s acceptance of the last Labor budget means promised lower debt will only be marginally so, and the LNP’s costings do not include likely contributions to key renewable energy projects.
Expected LNP government contributions to “smaller, more manageable” pumped hydro in that period would be worked out with the private sector and Queensland Hydro after the election.
