You can count on me: Anna
Anna’s campaign launch today kicked off with Troy Cassar-Daley singing live “Rise and Shine” and “This Day is Mine” and ended with a standing ovation.
“My highest priority is saving the jobs of today and creating the jobs of tomorrow,” Anna said.
Anna committed a re-elected Labor Government to:
- Create 100,000 new jobs in the next term;
- Push forward with the $17 billion building program; and
- Provide 200,000 solar hot water systems to families at a fraction of the retail price, saving the average family $300 a year on their power bill.
Anna’s job plan will be advanced on four main fronts: keeping the building program going, planning for the recovery by expanding the skills base, supporting new industries such as Liquid Natural Gas, and developing new job creation programs like the “Green Army”.
For these and other announcements in today’s speech log on to here.
Anna said Queenslanders had a clear choice between her plan to secure and create jobs, and Lawrence Springborg’s plan to cut $1 billion and 12,000 jobs from vital public services.
“Saturday’s election will present Queenslanders with a clear choice. A choice between jobs and cuts.
“Between taking Queensland back or stepping forward; between pretending our challenges don’t exist, or facing them head on.
“Between allowing the ravages of a global recession to weaken us or keep Queensland strong.
“Between the prospect of a minority Government made up of an unstable coalition, propped up by the Independents and One Nation…or a strong, stable, majority Labor Government.”
