With little more than four months to the Queensland election, the state’s LNP Opposition Leader David Crisafulli is set to join Premier Steven Miles and Treasurer Cameron Dick on their post-State Budget “roadshow”.

Mr Crisafulli announced last week that he and the LNP would support all measures in the 2024-2025 Budget being delivered by Mr Dick today.

“Given that I have committed to back the Budget and all it contains, it’s logical that I join the Premier and Treasurer in stumping the state to sell its initiatives,” he said.

Mr Crisafulli said he was pleased to have the support of Brisbane daily turdbloid The Courier-Mail (main picture) for his decision to travel the state promoting Labor’s spending initiatives for the 2024-2025 financial year as well as the forward estimates to 2027-2028.

A government spokesperson said Mr Crisafulli’s insistence on joining the government’s State Budget “roadshow” will necessitate the chartering of three business jets to ensure the Premier, Treasurer, and Opposition Leader could adequately cover the state.

“It’s good to see that The Courier-Mail is also supporting that decision and even editorialised in favour of chartering an extra jet especially for the Opposition Leader,” the spokesperson said. (below)

Mr Crisafulli denied that his decision to support the Labor Party’s 2024-2025 Budget was part of his “small target” strategy to avoid policy decisions and spending initiatives or cutbacks prior to the 26 October poll.

“It’s nothing of the kind,” he said sternly. “I also want to reject the notion that the opposition is somehow trying not to remind voters of how badly we fucked things up the last time they elected us in a landslide back in 2012 only to throw us out three years later.

“In particular people shouldn’t read anything into my decision to change our party’s name from Liberal National Party or LNP to the Australian Liberal Party until the election is behind us.

“Between now and then I’ll be doing all I can to have Queenslanders vote ALP,” Mr Crisafulli said.
