New LNP Opposition Leader Tim Nicholls and Deputy Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington are determined to hold the frozen at the wheel Palaszczuk Labor Government to account.
Mr Nicholls expressed gratitude to his Parliamentary colleagues for their support and paid tribute to Lawrence Springborg and John-Paul Langbroek for their strong leadership during a critical time for the LNP.
“Queensland deserves a government that will deliver real outcomes innovatively and consultatively rather than put its union mates ahead of hardworking everyday Queenslanders,” he said.
“To hold Labor to account we need an experienced team that understands the issues affecting both metropolitan and regional Queensland and to produce policies that advance the interests of all Queenslanders.
“We provide Queenslanders with experience from the corporate world, small business and local government, people who are honest and upfront, who will work hard for them every day.
“Queenslanders want to know their government is working for them, instead they’ve seen the state grind to a halt under Annastacia Palaszczuk and Labor.
“Today is not about Tim or Deb, but about the future of our great state, unfreezing government and getting Queensland working again.”
Deputy Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington said she was grateful for the confidence her LNP colleagues had shown in her and was looking forward to continuing to be a strong advocate for rural and regional Queenslanders.
“Businesses in the regions drive Queensland’s economy and create thousands of jobs and income that pumps through our communities, but they are stagnating under Labor,” she said.
“I look forward to working with Tim to get greater recognition for the regions and get the regional economy humming again.”
