With poll in the distance, LNP talks Labor

It’s 18 months until the next state government election but the state opposition has begun campaigning early.

Last month they began naming candidates with LNP leader David Crisafulli releasing a statement saying his party was being proactive for the October 2024 poll after seven years in opposition.

On Monday 24 April LNP deputy opposition leader Jorrod Bleijie will visit Noosa for a free public forum to talk, not about the LNP, but about the Labor Government on the topic: The Truth about the Labor Government.

“Many people in our community have concerns about the direction of the Labor Government,“ said LNP Noosa spokesman Nick Minchin. “This forum is a chance to hear directly from LNP Opposition Deputy Leader Jarrod Bleijie, who has extensive experience in state politics and has been a vocal critic of many of Labor’s policies. We encourage everyone who is interested in learning more about the issues facing our community to attend.“

Jarrod Bleijie, who is also opposition spokesman for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning and for Olympic and Paralympic Infrastructure and Jobs, said he was looking forward to speaking at the Noosa forum.

“The Labor government has made many promises and commitments, but the reality is that their policies are hurting Queenslanders and costing us jobs,“ said Bleijie. “I look forward to coming to Noosa to provide some clarity on the issues and to empower residents to speak out for what they believe in.“

The forum will include a Q&A session, allowing attendees to ask questions directly to Bleijie and other local LNP representatives.
