The Queensland Budget handed down today confirms that Campbell Newman’s Government is determined to make ungrounded financial decisions that will cost people’s jobs and destroy the environment, Australian Greens Senator for Queensland, Larissa Waters, said today.
“If Queensland becomes a state where basic services – such as health care, quality education and emergency services – aren’t on offer because the public service has been slashed, it won’t make any difference to people’s lives if the Budget is in surplus or not,” Senator Waters said.
Australian Greens leader, Senator Bob Brown, joins Senator Larissa Waters and Queensland Greens lead candidate Adam Stone to speak to the media about the the Greens holding their own in the Queensland elections.
