Angry Sunshine Coast residents have hit out at the Palaszczuk Labor Government after Kawana was named as a potential site for a multi-billion dollar desalination plant.
Deputy Leader of the Opposition and Kawana MP Jarrod Bleijie said Sunshine Coast residents have been left anxious and confused by the Premier’s announcement and shocking lack of detail.
“The chaos and crisis within the Palaszczuk Labor Government has reached a whole new level and Kawana is now caught in the crossfire with these plans to dump a desal plant in Kawana," Mr Bleijie said.
“Where in Kawana will it be built?
“Which Kawana beach will it be on?
“Will it be where Loggerhead turtles nest?
“The Premier hasn’t ruled these out and she can’t answer basic questions.
“This was Labor’s highly touted 30 year water plan that has done nothing but cause concern on the Sunshine Coast.
“There was no warning or consultation.
“It’s disgraceful how the Premier has treated Sunshine Coast residents.
“You can’t just throw up possible locations without any detail.
“This is the definition of chaos and crisis.
“After nearly nine years in power, the Palaszczuk Labor Government has stopped listening to Queenslanders.
“I won’t stop listening to locals and fighting to keep our beaches free from Labor’s desal debacle.”
