Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk says Premier Newman appears incapable of holding
together his fractured party and governing in the interests of
Queenslanders.
“His
government is falling to pieces around him but the Premier seems to have no
authority to put it back together and actually get on with governing,” Ms
Palaszczuk said.
“Statements
by LNP life member Clive Palmer blow the cover on the heavy-handed tactics of
the gang of three causing the government to edge towards the brink of collapse —
the Premier, the Deputy Premier and the Treasurer.
“Mr Palmer
has exploded the state debt myth constantly peddled by the Treasurer and others
in the LNP government.
“He has also
made it clear the vast majority of the LNP MPs in the parliamentary wing agree
with him and do not agree with the direction the gang of three is taking
them.
“What we have
just six months after the election is a fractured government with the largest
warring camps being the Clive Palmer and Santo Santoro
factions.
“On top of
that are the traditional splits among former Nationals and former Liberals who
were corralled into the LNP but who have never lost their dislike of each
other.
“This is
nowhere near the ‘humility, dignity and grace’ promised by the Premier,” Ms
Palaszczuk said.
