Liberal National Party Leader Deb Frecklington has welcomed news this week’s Federal Budget will fund billions of dollars of urgently-needed infrastructure across Queensland.
"This week’s Federal Budget will put to bed the Palaszczuk Government’s lie that Queensland doesn’t get its fair share from Canberra," Ms Frecklington said.
"From the details released so far this will be a Federal Budget that focuses on the whole state, unlike Labor who are fixated on just one pet project in SEQ in Cross River Rail.
"This state Labor government has slashed infrastructure spending by $3 billion a year costing Queenslanders 30,000 jobs over three years.
"The infrastructure cuts in regional Queensland have been the most savage with $2 billion cut per year and the state’s roads budget cut by more than $400 million.
"I look forward to seeing the full details of the Turnbull Government’s healthy mix of roads and public transport funding for all of Queensland when the Budget’s handed down tomorrow."
