BREAKING: The LNP are using the long weekend to try and escape scrutiny for axing affordable housing, appointing a LNP mate and ignoring corruption buster Tony Fitzgerald

Pill testing saves lives and medical professionals back it.

Today David Crisafulli’s Health Minister has confirmed the LNP are axing this harm minimisation program, ignoring experts.

Another day of spin from @DavidCrisafulli trying to take credit for @QLDLabor @StevenJMiles Homes for Queenslanders plan. All the LNP have done is cancel affordable housing and cut homeless funding. 🤦‍♀️ ✂️

[Meaghan Scanlon MP @meaghan_scanlon]

BREAKING: The LNP have refused to rule out a toll on the Second M1!

[Steven Miles @StevenJMiles]

The LNP won’t fix housing affordability by blocking projects like this one in Arundel that would build 650 homes for Queenslanders.

[Meaghan Scanlon MP @meaghan_scanlon]

Pill testing saves lives, and medical professionals back it. The LNP Government should listen to them and keep it here in Queensland.

[Steven Miles @StevenJMiles]

The team is back for our first Shadow Cabinet.

We’re getting on with the job of holding the LNP Government to account.

[Meaghan Scanlon MP @meaghan_scanlon]

Crisafulli has put the Newman Gov treasurer responsible for cutting 4,400 health workers in charge of health, the guy who tried to sell off schools in charge of education and the guy who opposes affordable homes in his own back yard as Housing Minister. Doesn’t look ‘fresh’ to me

[Meaghan Scanlon MP @meaghan_scanlon]

Homelessness services will be cut under the LNP.

How cold could they be to announce $45 million worth of cuts!

You cannot trust anything the LNP says – they will just cut what matters.

[Queensland Labor @QLDLabor]

He voted to keep abortion a crime in 2018 and he’s committed to allowing a conscience vote from his conservative MPs.

David Crisafulli cannot be trusted with the rights of women.

[Meaghan Scanlon MP @meaghan_scanlon]

While the Miles Government is focused on doing what matters and building the homes we need, the LNP have shown they’ll do anything to oppose more housing, especially in their own communities.

[Meaghan Scanlon MP @meaghan_scanlon]

Builders, planners, and the community agree—it’s way too complicated to build a home or granny flat in Queensland with 77 different design rules across councils.

But that’s about to change!

[Meaghan Scanlon MP @meaghan_scanlon]

We’re consulting on new planning codes to make things simple and standard. Think of it as a playbook for homes—clear, easy, and ready to use.

It may sound boring, but this will speed up home building like never before.

[Meaghan Scanlon MP @meaghan_scanlon]

But we’re getting on with the job of delivering better healthcare closer to home.

Because we’re doing what matters to Queensland.

[Meaghan Scanlon MP @meaghan_scanlon]

BREAKING: We will hire 15,875 extra frontline health workers in the next four years.

[Meaghan Scanlon MP @meaghan_scanlon]

We’ll also hire 5,229 non-clinical workers like wardies, cleaners and security.

It builds on the thousands of extra frontline staff we’ve already been hiring.

The LNP’s plan will cut over 12,000 health jobs, cut 1200 hospital beds and cut our Satellite Hospitals.

[Meaghan Scanlon MP @meaghan_scanlon]

It’s nothing new when David Crisafulli as a senior member of the Newman government, sacked 4,400 health workers around the state.

The Gold Coast cannot risk David Crisafulli and the LNP.

[Meaghan Scanlon MP @meaghan_scanlon]

I know how important having world-class healthcare closer to home is - which is why we’re doing what matters with our Health Big Build.

On the GC, we’re rolling out massive expansions to our uni and Robina hospitals, building the Coomera Hospital and more doctors and nurses.

[Meaghan Scanlon MP @meaghan_scanlon]

Our investment in health is all at risk under David Crisafulli and the LNP’s cuts.

In 2020, they committed to no new beds for the Gold Coast.

Now they’ve announced a plan to cut 1,200 beds and frontline jobs.
