WHITSUNDAY MP Jason Costigan – buoyed by the creation of his new party North Queensland First – has directed his question to the Premier, asking whether she will hold a referendum on splitting the state.
The answer was a firm no with Annastacia Palaszczuk using her answer to again pledge her love for the region.
“I love Townsville and I love Queensland and under my watch I am never going to see a divided Queensland,” she said.
LNP Leader Deb Frecklington interjected, describing Mr Costigan’s question as a dixer.
And for once she and Ms Palaszczuk were on the same page with the Premier agreeing.
