The Right Plan for Queensland's Future
✓ Safety where you live, through stronger laws like “Adult Crime, Adult Time” and gold standard early intervention.
✓ Health services when you need them, by investing more to clear waiting lists, and listening to doctors, nurses and paramedics who are on the frontline.
✓ Respect for your money, by stopping Labor's expensive failures and budget blowouts which are pushing up costs for families and small businesses.
✓ A place to call home, taking pressure off rents by working with councils to approve more homes and build better communities, and abolishing stamp duty for first home buyers purchasing a new house.
✓ A government that works for you, by ending the culture of silence and cover-ups and bringing back accountability and transparency to government.
