The government has not ruled out extending the campaign, which comes as Queenslanders prepare to vote later this year.
The Queensland government's ad campaign for its Big Build infrastructure plan will cost taxpayers more than $2 million.
State Development Minister Grace Grace has confirmed the campaign – which is running in the midst of an election year – will cost more than $2 million. The Cairns Hospital expansion is profiled in an ad for Far North Queensland and the new Bundaberg Hospital is the subject of an ad for the Wide Bay Burnett region.Ms Grace said the campaign equated to 0.002 per cent of the more than $90 billion the government planned to spend on infrastructure over the next four years.
LNP treasury spokesperson David Janetzki accused the Labor government of using the ads to boost its re-election campaign. The government also has an advertising and marketing code of conduct that prohibits ads that attempt to give a positive impression of a political party.
