Damning new figures have exposed Queensland worksites are grinding to a halt under the Miles Labor Government, putting the lifestyle of Queenslanders at risk.
Queensland lost an eye-watering 10,400 working hours on job sites in the June quarter which accounted for almost 50% of all lost hours across the country.
Shockingly Queensland lost 38,900 hours in 2023-24 financial year- an annual increase of 289%.
Under Labor who is beholden to the CFMEU, this extraordinary amount of lost time is causing further delays and cost blowouts on infrastructure projects which are a direct threat to Queenslanders’ way of life.
Queensland recorded by far the most lost days in the nation for the June quarter:
- Queensland – 10,400 hours lost
- Western Australia – 4,500 hours lost
- New South Wales – 2,400 hours lost
- Victoria – 2,400 hours lost
Queenslanders recorded more lost days than any other state or territory in the last 12 months:
- Queensland – 38,700 hours lost
- Victoria – 31,400 hours lost
- New South Wales – 20,800 hours lost
- Western Australia – 13,000 hours lost
- South Australia – 11,700 hours lost
- Tasmania – 900 hours lost
- ACT – 900 hours lost
- Northern Territory – 200 hours lost
LNP Deputy Leader Jarrod Bleijie said projects were blowing out, Queenslanders were sitting in traffic for longer and families are paying more for Labor’s failures than ever before because Steven Miles is owned by the CFMEU.
“Productivity in Queensland has hit rock bottom,” Mr Bleijie said.
“Queenslanders are paying an extraordinary price because Steven Miles and his tired-old Labor Government are owned by the CFMEU.
“These numbers prove Queenslanders’ lifestyles are under threat under Labor.
“Queenslanders are missing out on generational infrastructure because the Palaszczuk-Miles Government is beholden to the CFMEU.
“Only the LNP has the Right Plan for Queensland’s Future.
“The LNP has already committed to re-establishing the Productivity Commission and its first order of business will be a regulatory review of the building industry.
“The LNP will ensure workers are well paid, job sites are safe and productivity returns to Queensland once again.
“We will aim to have the highest productivity rate in the country, because Queensland is currently the worst.”
