Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk has pledged that Stanwell – operators of the Tarong power stations and Meandu coal mine – will not be sold by Labor if she becomes Premier after the next State election.
Ms Palaszczuk made the commitment while meeting with Stanwell workers yesterday near Rockhampton.
“Campbell Newman promised he wouldn’t sell off Queenslanders electricity assets, yet now he is,” Ms Palaszczuk said.
“My commitment to the people of Queensland, especially those in this region that rely on the State’s electricity assets for employment, is that only Labor will protect these assets from privatisation.”
