Deputy Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

May 30, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

The LNP has launched an online petition to encourage voters to register a protest against rising car registration costs.<\/p>\n

Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington said regional families would bear the brunt of the State Government’s decision to slug families with their third 3.5 per cent increase on car rego.<\/p>\n

She said the continuing increases were hurting local families because in country areas such as the South Burnett car ownership was vital.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn country areas, large distances must be covered to get into town,” Mrs Frecklington said.<\/p>\n

“Our community knows this and they live with it each day, but they are sick and tired of being treated like cash cows year after year, just because they must own a car.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey keep being milked each year by this Labor Government. Their rego goes up, but they don\u2019t get much in return. People look at the condition of our roads and ask, where is my rego money going?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the LNP were in government, we froze car rego for three years. In stark comparison, as soon as this Labor Government had the chance, they started their rego hikes, and they\u2019re not going to stop.<\/p>\n

“They know it hurts the hardest in the bush, but they don\u2019t care, because they don\u2019t care about country people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs Frecklington urged residents to sign the Fairer Rego Petition<\/a>\u00a0online<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
