Tonight in Queensland Parliament Annastacia Palaszczuk and Labor refused to be open with Queenslanders and release crucial reports and documents.
LNP Leader Deb Frecklington said a motion moved by the LNP called on the Labor Government to "end its culture of secrecy and be honest with the people of Queensland".
"The Labor Government has in its possession thousands of pages of documents Queenslanders deserve to see, but they are being kept under lock and key," Ms Frecklington said.
"Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk’s promise to the people of Queensland to govern with integrity and accountability has been broken time and time again.
"These reports deal with everything from private email accounts and youth detention to child safety and mental health.
"If there’s nothing to hide, why doesn’t Labor release these documents?"
Ms Frecklington said the motion sought to compel the Palaszczuk Labor Government to immediately publish the reports.
"My message to Annastacia Palaszczuk is clear: Queenslanders deserve to see these documents," she said.
"While these reports and documents remain hidden, Queenslander’s don’t know the true nature of how this Labor Government operates.
"It was a shame to see the Greens MP for Maiwar endorse Labor’s secrecy by voting against the motion.
"I will continue to hold Labor to account and fight for transparent government."
