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

October 29, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

New “modern and affordable” electricity tariffs will be introduced for irrigators should the LNP win power at Saturday’s State election.<\/p>\n

Opposition Leader and Member for Nanango\u00a0Deb Frecklington said the new tariffs would increase production and create more secure jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithin the first 100 day of forming government the LNP will task the Productivity Commission to develop a new set of modern and affordable agricultural tariffs to reduce the skyrocketing cost of electricity,\u201d Mrs Frecklington said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Commission will overhaul the current system and introduce a new demand-based tariff structure that rewards productivity and efficiency.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is all part of the LNP\u2019s ambitious food and jobs security plan which has a goal of increasing the value of agricultural production by 2035, from $18 billion to $30 billion and then doubling it to $60 billion by 2045.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe centrepiece of this bold plan is the delivery of water infrastructure which includes the drought-busting New Bradfield Scheme and more dam projects throughout the State.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a plan to grow agriculture in Queensland, including a commitment to reduce the costs of critical inputs and end bad regulations that impact the profitability, productivity and ultimately jobs throughout the entire agricultural supply chain.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
