Yes. It's a great neoliberalism plan: let's sell all the assets. Let's just sell assets. That's not an economic plan, but we shouldn't be surprised, because that was on the back of the Hawke-Keating era—sell CBA, sell Qantas, sell CSL. The great union leader sold his soul for neoliberalism—got sucked into it, didn't he? It's interesting: 30 years ago today we brought in the LNG plants and got LNG up and running—and what did the Hawke-Keating Labor government do? They brought in HECS on teachers and nurses. What a sell-out! Don't hear much about that, do we? It's a bit like how we don't hear much about the great effort of Lawrence Springborg in fixing up Queensland Health in 2015. What a great effort after Queensland Labor couldn't even pay the wages of the nurses! Think about that. Don't let it happen. Thank heavens the federal coalition is in power—and I can't wait for that triple surplus. Let's get Queensland Labor out of power before the last person has to turn out the lights.
