David’s 100 days of disappointment

Queenslanders that were promised a “fresh start” under the Crisafulli regime have endured 100 days of disappointment.

Each announcement ticked off the 100-day list for this Crisafulli Government has been oozing with disclaimers, asterisks, and terms and conditions.

There have been backflips, ifs, buts and shortcuts, broken promises, and pseudo reviews.

The LNP has spent the first 100 days of the 58th Parliament acting more like an Opposition – not a government with conviction, transparency and integrity.

Queenslanders were promised a fresh start – it’s been more of a dud start.

Quotes attributable to Deputy Opposition Leader Cameron Dick:

“The slick, smooth talking of David Crisafulli has lost its touch, and, in its place, Queenslanders have been fed broken promises, excuses and ultimately 100 days of disappointment.

“David Crisafulli’s four-word slogan hasn’t reduced crime, he’s cut health services in hospitals across the state, potentially caused a credit rating downgrade, and is preparing to cut infrastructure projects across the state.

“After 10 years in the political wilderness you would think this LNP Government would be proud to tell Queenslanders how they plan on making this great state a better place.

“Instead, they are operating in the shadows, lacking transparency, accountability, and proper processes.”
