Statement on the cost of living, economic performance and new taxes
Saturday, 01 October 2011 22:00 in Media Releases
I am seriously concerned about how the rising cost of living is impacting on residents and families in our community. Everywhere I go people tell me that things are really tough and getting tougher.
The Gillard Labor Government has turned a $20 billion surplus into a $50 billion deficit and turned $70 billion in net assets into $107 billion of net debt; this on top of Labor borrowing another $135 million every single day. Now they are adding new taxes and further burdens to the economy.
In our own State, Labor, with Anna Bligh in charge, actually managed to lose Queensland's AAA credit rating. In July, the Commonwealth Bank's 'States of the States' report ranked Queensland's economic performance as the weakest in the country. To perform so badly, despite having a thriving mining industry, must be something of a record.
