The Queensland government is spending millions of dollars of taxpayer money on an ad campaign to convince Queenslanders that the selloff of our public assets would be a "strong choice."
They’ve even included a website and survey tool designed to make it look like privatisation is a good idea, and the only way to pay for services and to pay off debt that is supposedly "unsustainable."
But their website doesn’t tell the whole story, and the choices it allows you to make are only the ones the government wants you to make.
For example, it doesn’t give you the option of making the "strong choice" to refuse the pollie pay rises delivered by the "independent" tribunal – a move that would save Queenslanders many millions of dollars that could be used to fund vital services.
If the treasurer was serious he would;
?refuse the massive politicians’ pay increase;
?be honest and open, put the full facts on the table;
?focus on getting services for Queenslanders, not on spending taxpayer money to support a "listening" campaign when he has already made up his mind.
It was selling off public assets that got the Bligh government kicked out and the same will happen to the Newman government.
