Tim Nicholls MP

Happy Budget day! I’m with the Treasurer and Attorney General getting ready for the Crisafulli Government’s second Budget.

Our first Budget was about laying the foundations. Today’s Budget is about strengthening them and delivering for Queenslanders.

Stay tuned for more throughout the day. Queenslanders can be confident this Budget is delivering a fresh start for Queensland.

We said we would ensure there was long-term cost of living relief Queenslanders could rely on - and that’s exactly what our Budget will deliver next week.

There will be no new or increased taxes for Queenslanders for the second year in a row – avoiding the easy way out taken by other governments that chose to increase taxes and reduce services.

Cost-of-living measures include a reduction in energy costs delivered through our Energy Roadmap. Our Back to School Boost, Play On! Sports Vouchers and Permanent 50 Cent Fares are all locked in just like we promised.

We are playing our part with structured cost of living relief Queenslanders can rely on when they’re doing it tough in the middle of a national affordability crisis.

Canberra’s budget hit your hip-pocket.

We’re keeping our word - no new or increased taxes.
