Under ecomomic managment this is all i could find from the LNP website.
Piss poor from a party that wants to run the state.



A Springborg LNP Government will introduce a three per cent efficiency and productivity dividend to protect jobs by redirecting more than $1 billion a year in government waste.

LNP Leader Lawrence Springborg said the productivity dividend would create a better, more focused government and ensure funding was delivered where it was needed most.

In a speech to CEDA today, Mr Springborg said the LNP would:

cut government waste; HE MEANS JOBS

promised public servants would not be sacked and natural attrition would focus on "fat cats" at the top end; SACKINGS

repay government debt, and;

restore Queenslands credit rating.

WHAT WILL THEY SELL TO DO THAT?

"Today I announce that a Springborg LNP Government would introduce a 3 per cent productivity dividend across the State Government," Mr Springborg said.

"This productivity dividend will work in concert with a promise, which I reiterate today, that no public servant will be sacked by an incoming LNP Government. The 3 per cent dividend is across all of government leaving us the flexibility to keep staff, particularly in those frontline departments, and maintain and expand the capital works program," he said.

LARGER GOVERNMENT SPENDING

Mr Springborg highlighted that he had already announced an extra 800 teachers and teacher aides, and 1000 police, would be employed by an LNP Government.


MORE JOB CUTS
He said that his commitment to refocusing the public sector through natural attrition in the non-frontline sectors would focus on those in the upper pay scales.


"The greatest scope for efficiency will be focused on the bloated upper end of the bureaucracy and that is where we will look first," Mr Springborg said.

"With the LNP, it is about front line services. I have never said that all public servant roles which become vacant will not be filled by an LNP Government.

CUTTING MORE JOBS
"What I have said, and really believe, is that as roles become vacant in non-frontline positions, we will assess whether they are really necessary or whether that funding can be used elsewhere."


WHEN YOU SELL EVERYTHING NO NEED TO TAX.
He also confirmed an LNP Government would not raise taxes or bring in new taxes, a promise Labor had refused to make.

"The last 11 years has shown that Labor cant manage money. We need an LNP Government to ensure we get value for every dollar we spend," he said.

"I believe that, under decent management, Queensland will rise from the ashes of this crisis and once again take its place as the top state in Australia when it comes to financial management."

Look out Queensland there is nothing in here

i see a lot of spending on a bigger police
force and some extra teachers.

Where is the debt paying policy?

They seem to leave that out.

I suppose i would to if i had something to
hide.
