What's the plan, LNP?

The LNP has released a ‘plan’ to increase fuel security in Queensland.

The ‘plan’ seems to be about giving government owned land to private businesses to store fuel. The Crisafulli government loves giving away our land!

They’re not so big on the other details though… Like:

• Who will build the storage facilities?

• What will they look like?

• Will the communities be consulted on location, design, impact?

• What is the contamination risk to our oceans and wildlife if these facilities are built on the coastline?

• What is the cost to taxpayers of government investment and lost land?

• Can the fuel ever be sold overseas?

• What is the timeline?

What could the impacts be on our communities and our coastline?

We know Queenslanders are struggling to put food on the table and fuel in the tank. Long term ‘plans’ like Taroom trough and finding more places to store fuel (that’s not even made yet) won’t help struggling families anytime soon.

By contrast, thanks to Federal Labor’s investment in renewables and batteries, local households will see cheaper electricity prices this year – an achievement the Queensland LNP had the nerve to try and claim!

The LNP has scrapped Labor's electricity rebates and stomped all over investment in renewable energy – two things we know that work to bring down household bills. Even the catchiest slogans can’t hide that fact!
