LNP Leader Deb Frecklington has welcomed the Palaszczuk Labor Government’s climb-down on fuel price monitoring after months of campaigning by the Opposition and motoring groups.
The adoption of real-time fuel price monitoring was the very first policy approved by the LNP’s new Shadow Cabinet.
"I have backed real-time fuel price monitoring since I became LNP Leader because I understand the financial pressures Queenslanders are facing," Ms Frecklington said.
"Fuel prices have rocketed in 2018 but the only action the Palaszczuk Labor Government has taken has been to rubbish real-time fuel price monitoring.
"The Palaszczuk Government has finally and grudgingly admitted it was totally wrong.
"If I were Premier, this decision would have been taken months ago.
"This decision has only been taken because of the pressure the LNP and motoring groups have applied to this Government.
"I promise drivers who have been failed by Labor that I will keep the pressure on the Palaszczuk Government to ensure they finally deliver lower fuel prices."
