Respect for your money with the Saving You Paying Plan

The LNP has the Right Plan to restore respect for your money.

The Saving You Paying Plan puts the focus back on driving down cost of living for Queenslanders, both in the short and the long-term, and getting maximum benefit from every single taxpayer dollar spent.

Responsible economic management not only grows our economy, it drives down cost pressures for Queenslanders. Over the past year, Labor’s expensive failures across housing, crime, health and cost of living have hit us all in the hip pocket. Queenslanders have copped some of the biggest cost increases in the nation, including for childcare, healthcare, sports participation and food. Our rents, electricity, transport and insurance costs are all skyrocketing.

These cost pressures have been fuelled by systemic, long-term government failures. As a result, Queenslanders are paying much more and getting far less.

Queensland needs a fresh start. Our plan will restore respect for your money by stopping Labor’s expensive failures and budget blowouts which are costing you more.

The LNP’s plan will ensure every taxpayer dollar is invested to deliver the maximum benefit. Our plan will repair the structural cost of living issues and deliver projects on time and on budget. Our plan will invest for the future by growing our economy and delivering more jobs. That’s our commitment to Queenslanders.

We will end Labor’s expensive failures

That are hitting us in the hip pocket:

• We will get the maximum benefit out of every dollar by stopping budget blowouts during project construction and delivering on time.
• We will ease pressure on car, home and business insurance costs by getting crime under control.
• We will ease pressure on rents and mortgages by delivering more housing supply.
• We will ease pressure on transport and insurance costs by investing money into regional roads.
• We will ease pressure on home and business insurance costs by investing in natural disaster resilience projects.
• We will ease costs at the checkout by investing in skilling up Queensland workers to give businesses the capacity they need.
• We will lower the cost of groceries by delivering water security to ease costs for food producers.

Affordable, reliable and sustainable energy

Now and in the future:

• We will deliver cheaper electricity through an Electricity Maintenance Guarantee to get our power plants back online and keep them online.
• We will put a stop to Labor’s Pioneer Burdekin pumped-hydro project, which will cost more than $24 billion and drive up power prices.

Boosting women’s economic security

Helping women return to work when they’re ready:

• We will support women returning to work after children or unpaid carer work with $5,000 grants for essentials like workwear, technology or training.
• We will ensure women are not locked out of a job because they can’t afford the cost of job-seeking.

A more productive Queensland

Stronger economy:

• We will increase productivity across the Queensland economy by reinstating the Productivity Commission and tasking it with removing red tape.
• We will ensure every taxpayer dollar achieves the maximum value for Queenslanders.
• We will make it easier to build homes in Queensland by instructing the Productivity Commission to conduct a regulatory review of the building industry.

Growing our economy

For all Queenslanders:

• We will bring back responsible economic management and hold government accountable, with properly costed projects and KPIs on programs.
• We will grow future opportunities by backing small business and investing in innovation.
• We will secure a pipeline of skilled workers to power our industries now and into the future with a boost to training and TAFE.
• We will boost investor confidence providing regulatory and taxation stability and certainty.
