Free school lunches for every state primary school student, if elected this month
This is the largest investment in cost of living support in our State’s history and means a family with two children could receive over $2,000 in cost of living support.
On top of that, free and healthy school lunches for all primary school kids is expected to save busy families about $1,600 per student, per year.
Cost of Living Action.
Our Miles Labor government have delivered record energy bill rebates.
Every Queensland household is receiving a $1,000 energy bill rebate. In addition, vulnerable households are eligible for an extra $372.
This will cover more than half of the average household's yearly energy bill.
If elected, a Miles Labor Government will deliver an Energy Price Guarantee that household bills will remain lower than the average national electricity market price.
The Energy Price Guarantee is supported by the commitment to establish a statewide publicly owned energy retailer which will offer the lowest household power prices on the east coast.
The Miles Labor Government has taken on multinational mining companies to make sure Queenslanders get their fair share of our resources to deliver cost of living relief.
Steven Miles has a big plan to get more Queenslanders on public transport and take cars off the road.
That’s why Labor has cut all public transport fares to 50 cents forever.
By lowering fares to 50 cents, we’re taking pressure off household bills and easing traffic congestion.
Our trial of 50 cent fares saved Queenslanders $29 million and took more than 2.6 million car trips off our roads, in just the first five week. It’s why Labor are making 50 cent fares permanent.
We're also delivering a 20% discount on your rego. This is reducing the registration cost of a private 4-cylinder vehicle by almost $85, bringing registration fees down to $338.75.
Labor’s rego discount includes motorcycles and trailers which means the owners of 5.7 million vehicles across the state will pay less under Labor.
Free School lunches for every state primary school student.
A re-elected Miles Government will make lunches free for children in Queensland’s State Primary Schools – easing pressure on families and helping Queensland kids focus in the classroom.
In the biggest reform to education since Prep, we will make school lunches free for State Primary School students.
From 2025, the initiative would make a healthy school lunch available for free for all State Primary School students in Prep to Year 6.
It’s expected to save parents $1,600 per child, each year.
This is all at risk under the LNP.
Queenslanders can’t trust David Crisafulli and the LNP.
David Crisafulli and the LNP have a plan to give more than $10 billion a year back to multinational mining companies by cutting coal royalties. The only way he can pay for it is cuts to cost of living support.
Last time they were in government, the LNP promised not to cut jobs and services – but they did.
Under David Crisafulli and the LNP, all of this cost of living support is at risk.
