No action on tackling ice

WE understand that the ice epidemic is having a crippling effect, particularly in regional communities across Queensland.

The Palaszczuk Labor government signed up to the National Ice Action Plan nearly two years ago, but hadn’t even finished the draft. So after three years Labor still has no plan to tackle ice. It’s typical of a do-nothing government with a softly, softly approach that is failing Queenslanders. Doing nothing is not working.

The community is crying out for leadership and we have a government stuck in neutral.

Queenslanders want action now on this important issue.

A Tim Nicholls-led LNP government will implement a comprehensive $52.21 million action plan to take ice off our streets through crime prevention, increased treatment, drug addiction services and strong, targeted enforcement.

While Labor only talks about developing a plan to deal with the issue, the LNP will deliver real action and positive solutions.

Only the LNP has a comprehensive action plan to tackle the scourge of ice, building stronger families and providing safe and liveable communities as we build a better Queensland. Michael Trout, LNP Candidate for Barron River
