Whatever the LNP decide to recommend to their voters about preferences has nothing to do with the Greens, and the Queensland Greens said publicly weeks ago that we would suggest voters put the LNP last along with One Nation. The fact that the Labor Party have chosen to use their time in the Senate today in this way shows just how worried they are about the growing Green movement in Queensland—and well they should be, given the secret royalties deal they just did with Adani. They raised jobs. In Queensland, our plan to revive manufacturing, including building publicly owned renewables and public housing, would create tens of thousands of jobs. Meanwhile, Queensland Labor's plan for the Queensland economy is to freeze teachers' and nurses' wages while giving mining companies a royalties holiday. That is why people are voting Green.
