Today, Lisa and I were joined by LNP Candidate for Pumicestone Lisa France in announcing the LNP's positive plan for maternal health.
An LNP Government will establish a Maternal and Child Health Service to provide free nurse consultations in the home, to give Mums and Bubs the best possible start to life.
Queenslanders have endured 20 years of excuses and political promises; we have heard them spoken and broken time and again. Labor are a broken record and the song is always the same.
We need strong action now, not more empty promises and political tricks.
Anna Bligh's meltdown under pressure in Parliament this week resulted in a number of completely ridiculous claims which shows Queenslanders that Labor is only interested in politics and spin.
Her outlandish statements made under Parliamentary privilege (and which she refused to repeat outside Parliament) included suggesting Campbell Newman would be going to jail. This shows she suffered a failure of judgement, a failure of character and a failure of leadership and it is she who is not fit to be Premier of Queensland.
Premier Anna Bligh's Sunday splash to revamp South Brisbane milk factory land into a river-city playground has been exposed as another Labor election stunt by a leaked memo from Parmalat.

Last year, as Lord Mayor of Australia's largest local government, I saw first hand the strength, resilience and optimism of Queenslanders as they faced massive floods. Queenslanders have a supersized dose of the Australian 'can do spirit' and as I worked among the now famous 'mud army' of volunteers and the flood stricken, I felt uplifted. Those of us who were privileged to lead that mighty flood effort – and that following Cyclone Yasi - stood on the shoulders of giants. The volunteers, the emergency services and the survivors themselves.
Merry Christmas. I just love a Queensland Christmas! While the last festive season saw Queensland cop a battering, with widespread flooding and Cyclone Yasi, I'd say that those natural disasters brought out the best in Queenslanders and the people who came from far and wide to help with the clean-up.
The spirit of Christmas also brings out the best in people and Christmas time in Queensland is about celebrating with loved ones and being a part of the local community.
Anna Bligh and Labor's economic mismanagement and bungling has taken Queensland from being the economic powerhouse of the nation to a state which:
In a bid to protect Cape York and provide a future for local Aboriginal communities, LNP Leader Campbell Newman today announced the LNP would replace Labor's Wild Rivers declarations.
