Cost of living is a priority for the LNP: David Crisafulli

Queensland Opposition leader David Crisafulli has revealed cost of living is a priority for the Liberal National Party of Queensland during his state budget reply. “Cost of living is a priority for the LNP because it’s a priority for Queenslanders,” Mr Crisafulli said. “We're living through the steepest cost of living pressures in this country because of the failures of this government,” he said. Although the Queensland Opposition leader welcomed the state government's short-term solutions to cost-of-living he said more need to be done to address the long-term issues that the Queensland Labor Party have “embedded”. "Our first step is a commitment to a maintenance guarantee on our power plants," he said. "The maintenance guarantee will ensure the necessary work required to keep our power plants up and running and that it'll be there to deliver cost-of-living relief. "Where we differ with the government is a focus on driving real reform to lowering the underlying cost of government services things like electricity and water."
