No Hairyback.
It states that the top five reasons I should vote LNP are...
1) We have a strong plan to grow a dynamic four pillar economy.
2) We will create 209,000 new jobs with 12,000 new apprenticeships.
3) Our new cost of living fund will help lower the average household electricity bill by $577 over five years.
4) We're making communities safer with stronger laws and more than 800 additional police.
5) Our surgery wait time guarantee means surgery on time, every time.

Nothing about the big issues of debt or selling/leasing state assets.
In fact all the above would require considerable extra expenditure.

Now to deal with these pledges
1) No comment as I'm not sure what that even means.
2) I have no idea how they came up with the figure of creating 209,000 new jobs and they don't say.
But three years ago they promised some similar figure which never eventuated, and unemployment is rising.
3) During the past three years of LNP government the average electricity bill has gone up by $442 a year.
So I doubt anyone takes point three seriously.
4) I don't feel any safer over the past three years and while 800 extra police is commendable they will not come cheaply.
5) Not too sure about that one but I read where they have changed the structure of the waiting lists to create the impression that they have grown shorter when they have not. And on time, every time...not possible in the real world.
