Calls to the Palaszczuk Labor Government to bust congestion in South East Queensland continue to fall on deaf ears.
It follows the release of new data by RACQ, which found motorists are spending around three weeks per year stuck in peak hour traffic.
LNP Leader Deb Frecklington said the findings are shocking but sadly, not surprising.
“I’ve been very clear about my congestion busting plan to get South East Queensland moving again,” Ms Frecklington said.
“If elected next year, the LNP will build a second M1.
“This is a significant infrastructure project that will have a positive ripple effect for the whole state.
“For too long the Labor Palaszczuk Government has neglected major infrastructure projects.
“The Premier’s priorities are all wrong.
“Road users have had enough of the M1 resembling a carpark seven days a week.
“It’s a nightmare at the best of times, but worse during peak hour, weekends and holidays.
“Annastacia Palaszczuk needs to get her foot off the brake, for the sake of the state.
“Only the LNP has a plan to bust-congestion, improve roads and invest in public transport.
“Motorists in areas including Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich and the Gold Coast have had enough and it’s about time Labor stopped looking in the rear-view mirror and outline a plan.
“We can’t afford to have Brisbane’s traffic resemble Sydney and Melbourne but we’re quickly heading in that direction.
“Annastacia Palaszczuk lacks vision and her Government is taking Queensland on a road to nowhere.”
