The Together Union has sided with the LNP after learning ‘Pick Pocket Pitt’ was planning on dipping his fingers into the cookie jar once again and raiding public servants’ superannuation.
Opposition Leader Tim Nicholls said Treasurer Curtis Pitt’s latest raid on public servants’ superannuation was a slap in the face for nurses, teachers and police officers.
“Without any consultation, or without evening mentioning it in his introductory speech in parliament, we have another raid on public servants’ superannuation nest eggs,” Mr Nicholls said.
“There has also been no consultation with the unions, or the workers that Labor is supposed to look after.
“This is just another sneaky superannuation raid, on top of the $4 billion he has already fleeced, by a Treasurer who continues to pick-pocket other people’s money.”
Mr Nicholls said the Together Union has since come out and urged the parliament to vote down the proposed legislation.
“Queenslanders can be assured it’s bad policy given the unions have thrown their support behind the LNP,” he said.
“It’s remarkable in itself that Alex Scott has urged Labor MPs and Crossbench MPs to vote down the legislation.
“The LNP will fight against this sneaky raid and it’s something I will be discussing at Shadow Cabinet next week.”
