Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington assured AgForce members gathered in Kingaroy on Friday night the LNP is on track to win the October 31 State Election.<\/p>\n

“We will get to government. I can tell you that, we will get to government,” Mrs Frecklington emphasised.<\/p>\n

“We have got a pathway to government. But we will also stay there for several terms because we cannot afford the flip-flopping of governments.<\/p>\n

“Queensland needs long-term, conservative government.”<\/p>\n

Mrs Frecklington said the LNP had identified the 10 seats it needed to win and was working hard on the ground to achieve this.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We can’t afford another four years of Labor,” she said.<\/p>\n

“It’s not all about COVID. Before COVID, Queensland had the highest unemployment rate in the nation, the lowest business confidence and the highest number of bankruptcies.<\/p>\n

“Yesterday, after every State in Australia, Queensland has the highest unemployment. We are at 8.8 per cent. Victoria has gone the other way.<\/p>\n

“It’s because there is no consumer confidence to invest in Queensland.”<\/p>\n

Mrs Frecklington said she was keen that regional Queensland would have a “loud, proud” voice.<\/p>\n

She promised AgForce members she would get “sensible vegetation management” back in place.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The LNP had produced\u00a0 “a way forward for vegetation management” after consultations with AgForce and other farming bodies.\u00a0This policy would be unveiled next week.<\/p>\n

However, she hinted “deemed approvals” for land clearing – similar to the party’s plan for fire permits – could be a part of this new policy.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Mrs Frecklington unveiled a policy of “deemed approvals” for fire permits.<\/p>\n

“If you are someone that wants to get a fire permit, and you’ve been mucked around by the department, after 15 days you have got a ‘deemed approval’,” she said.<\/p>\n

Mrs Frecklington also spoke about water management, building dams and the LNP’s proposed New Bradfield Scheme, which she described as “big, bold and ambitious”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I have announced the Queensland Dam Company, which will be set up in Townsville,” she said.<\/p>\n

The QDC would implement the LNP\u2019s plan for new dams and dam upgrades in central and North Queensland.<\/p>\n

Mrs Frecklington promised the LNP would make water “affordable” to landholders.<\/p>\n

“We have accepted the Queensland Competition Authority’s recommendations to SunWater,” Mrs Frecklington said.<\/p>\n

“QCA put out a recommendation to change the model that SunWater works to a regulated asset-base model for its infrastructure. We will adopt that and it will save 19.4 per cent (for SunWater users). That’s\u00a0not my figures, that’s QCA’s.”<\/p>\n

The AgForce Qld evening at the Kingaroy Cricket Club also provided an opportunity for members to meet new South-East Queensland Regional Manager Andrew Sinnamon, who has taken over from Sarah Due.<\/strong><\/p>\n

About 60 members and guests enjoyed dinner, sponsored by Ken Mills Toyota.<\/p>\n
