A year ago, Queenslanders voted for change. A year ago, Queenslanders voted for David Crisafulli and the Liberal-National government. They voted for a government who were going to fix the crime crisis, the housing crisis, the health crisis and the cost-of-living crisis. After a year, Queenslanders can see that change is happening in Queensland. They also know that, while the government has done lots, there is lots more to do, because the government came to power with a vision—a vision to get the state back on track and a plan to make sure that Queenslanders felt safe, that they could go to hospitals and not be ramped up in ambulances, that they could have a quality of life and that they could just enjoy all that there is to enjoy about Queensland.

And what that government did in that first year is deliver on its commitments. It strengthened community safety with stricter youth crime laws and more police on the beat—adult crime, adult time. It restored frontline health services and improved transparency in the healthcare system by having real-time data available to Queenslanders to see exactly what is going on. It's moved to help housing affordability by abolishing stamp duty for first home buyers. It's unlocking new land for homes and it's scrapped the CFMEU tax, which was costing Queenslanders billions of dollars. This is a government that gets things done not by shouting, not by virtue signalling but by governing with purpose and discipline. This government is focused on delivering. It is focused on making sure Queensland returns to its place as the best state in Australia.
