Pauline Hanson slams majors ahead of Central Queensland visit.

Queensland Senator Pauline Hanson has criticised the Government and Labor for their long history of empty promises to the people of Queensland.

Senator Hanson, who is meeting with rail industry stakeholders in the seat of Mirani next Friday, has said both parties are to blame when it comes to promising big before elections but then failing to deliver.

Senator Hanson will also be meeting with manufacturers in Rockhampton over ever increasing electricity prices that are stifling jobs and pressuring companies to move their operations offshore.

“Queenslanders have woken up to the fact that Bill Shorten is like a bad blind date, willing to say anything to get what he wants.” Senator Hanson said.

“When he wanted something from me he told me he was pro-coal but when he wanted something from the green activists paying for his trip he told them he was for shutting down coal.”

“Unlike Bill Shorten, I want to see as many job creating projects go ahead in Queensland as possible. Bill Shorten and Labor want to kill Queensland’s projects, kill Queensland’s mines and kill Queensland’s jobs.”

Senator Hanson also fired back at Government MP Michelle Landry who had attacked Senator Hanson for her discovery that Infrastructure Australia had not yet received business plans for the Haughton pipeline duplication, a new coal fired power station for Queensland or the Rookwood weir.

“What did Michelle Landry do after I discovered that no one from the Government had actually taken any proposals for big nation building projects in Queensland to Infrastructure Australia?” Senator Hanson said.

“Did she do what I’ve done in the past and go knocking on the Prime Minister door to tell him that this isn’t good enough? No, instead Michelle Landry ran a panicked defence in the media to try to cover for her party’s failure.”

“Despite what Mrs Landry and others have been saying for years, the Government has not provided business plans for major nation building projects like power stations, dams or pipelines in Queensland.

“So while Michelle Landry and the Government are splitting hairs about what you can call a ‘nation building project’ and attacking me for standing up for Queensland I’m calling for shovels in the ground, heavy machinery on the road and real jobs for Queensland. The choice is clear.”

“Bill Shorten and Michelle Landry are free to say what they like to the people of Queensland but I will not let them get away with lying.”
