AS the new year begins, the Crisafulli State Government will have the opportunity to build on its first term as key milestones of its 100-day plan have been delivered.
The 100 Day Plan carved a roadmap forward for the Government and contained 26 deliverables to be completed by the end of 2024, including:
- Passing the Making Queensland Safer Laws, including adult crime, adult time; removing detention as a last resort; and putting victims’ rights first.
- Instructing Treasury to dismantle GP payroll tax and abolish stamp duty for first homebuyers on new builds, streamline new housing opportunities.
- Implementing the electricity maintenance guarantee on government-owned power plants to address rising power prices.
- Continuing to roll out its health plan and lay the groundwork to reduce ambulance ramping and for the publication of real-time hospital data for greater transparency.
Currently:
- 50 cent public transport fares have been made permanent to provide vitally needed cost-of-living relief for Queenslanders.
- Support implemented to first home buyers. Inititated by allowing them to rent out a room in their home from day one without losing concessions and grants.
- New Tourism Cabinet Subcommittee to drive a 20-year tourism strategy. This is aimed at unlocking new ways to help create tourism products and promote them globally, boosting growth across the sector.
- Resources Cabinet Committee has been established. – and met for the first time. Its goal is to provide a coordinated approach to ensure a strong resources sector strengthens Queensland’s economy and its communities.
- The Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority is progressing its review of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games and will ensure there is generational infrastructure for all Queenslanders.
- A Parliamentary Inquiry into supporting Queensland’s volunteering sector has been launched, and a forum with residential care providers has taken place to discuss the dual-carer model rollout and wider priorities across the sector.
The Premier said the completion of the initial stages of the 100 Day Plan set the benchmark for the new government moving forward.
“This government outlined its key deliverables for the first week, the first month, and to the end of the year, and we have completed every single thing we promised,” Mr Crisafulli said.
“This is about more than just ticking boxes – it proves to Queenslanders that when we say we are going to do something, we will.
“We have achieved a lot already and we will continue to work hard every day.”
