Shadow Minister for Transport and Main Roads Steve Minnikin said Mark Bailey must come clean about why the State Government can’t control its spending with most of these huge blowouts falling under the transport portfolio.
“Mark Bailey’s budget blowouts are going to cost Queenslanders big time,” he said.
“This matters to every single Queenslander because it means the Palaszczuk Government will likely have to cover this soaring waste with a new tax in the middle of a cost of living crisis.
“Every time Mark Bailey blows his budget it means there is less money for things like nurses, doctors, paramedics or hospital beds.
“The sad reality is Queenslanders will be slugged with higher taxes because of Mark Bailey’s incompetence and all they’ll be paying for is his wasteful spending.
“The Palaszczuk Government is going to have to find money to cover the blowouts from somewhere and as we know the Labor Government has form with taxing Queenslanders.
“Queensland deserves a government that can plan properly for the future and deliver infrastructure on time and on budget.”
