LNP’s 100-day to-do list leaves huge question mark

The LNP’s “adult crime, adult time” laws will be in place by the end of 2024 as part of a long to-do list David Crisafulli has promised to complete on schedule. But there’s one big problem. SEE THE LIST

The LNP’s “adult crime, adult time” laws will be in place by the end of 2024 and real-time hospital data published 100 days into the term as part of a long to-do list Opposition Leader David Crisafulli has promised to complete on schedule.

The 100-day to-do list contains more than 40 actions Mr Crisafulli’s frontbench would need to tick off on time — if elected on October 26 — or face “ministerial accountability”. But there are still no costings for his plans.

“You’re asking me, do I believe in ministerial accountability, you bet that’s what this is. This provides no wriggle room,” he said.

“It’s a commitment to Queenslanders that if they vote for change, they will get a fresh start.”

The to-do list includes a promise to instruct Treasury to dismantle payroll tax for GPs and get rid of stamp duty for first home buyers building new houses in the first week.

In the first month of taking office the LNP would start work on a “20-year tourism plan” and get departments to sort out making 50 cent public transport fares permanent.

By the end of 2024 the LNP has vowed to have its community safety laws, which includes ensuring children who commit the most heinous crimes serve adult prison time.

It would also have “unlocked” church and charity-owned land for the community housing sector, which Mr Crisafulli said involved a “simple change in regulation” to allow faith groups to get on with housing projects.

In the first 100 days of taking government the LNP would publish real-time hospital data, establish an independent Public Sector Commission, and disclose the real cost of Cross River Rail and when it will be completed.

They would also launch an inquiry, led by the Queensland Family and Child Commission, into the failures of the Blue Card system.

In the first 100 days an LNP government would also begin consulting with clinicians on the best name for “satellite hospitals”.

The cost of renaming all seven satellite hospitals isn’t yet known but Mr Crisafulli said ultimately it would be a “small investment” in saving lives.

Mr Crisafulli released the 100-day to-do list while campaigning in Gaven - Labor’s last bastion on the Gold Coast - a day before voters start heading to the polls early.

“This is a commitment to Queenslanders, that if they vote for change, they will get a fresh start. And I am serious about accountability, and I’m putting it in writing and I’m breaking it across four sections the first week, that tells you we’re serious,” he said.

But Queenslanders heading to the polls from Monday won’t yet know how he plans to pay for the billions of dollars worth of election promises made so far.

Mr Crisafulli again claimed all the LNP’s policies were “fully costed, fully funded” but detailed costings have not yet been released.
