LNP tells power execs – no bonus until prices fall.

The power execs of our government energy providers are paid enormous bonuses for implementing Annastacia Palaszczuk’s hidden power tax.

While Queenslanders struggle to keep the lights on, some energy bosses are paid more than $900,000, including $100,000 bonuses.

The more money power companies can gouge from families and small businesses and return to the Labor government to prop up its coffers, the bigger the executive bonuses.

It is obscene and the LNP won’t stand for it.

If elected, an LNP Government

will restructure the pay of power company executives.

The message is blunt – your bonus will be frozen.

That means these executives will not receive their bonus until power prices fall.

Our policy will apply to around 30 top executives at Powerlink, CS Energy, Stanwell, Energy Queensland, Energex and Ergon who will be set performance targets aimed at reducing the cost of electricity.

The LNP understands families can’t continue to face the pain of skyrocketing electricity prices. Enough is enough. It’s time Queenslanders are given a fair go.

The choice this election couldn’t be starker – the LNP fighting to lower electricity prices versus Annastacia Palaszczuk continuing to use electricity as a secret tax on Queenslanders.

REFEREES – there was a time when one hardly knew the officials were around – now they have become almost a clown-like force as they attempt to shove their judgment calls down the throats of the teams and poor suffering public. It is safe to say 25 to 30 games a season are decided by the officials and not by the teams playing them – is it a coincidence that this a happened since betting companies have become large sponsors of the best game in the world?

I HAVE been watching from the sidelines for some time while you media types pull the strings and have the mainstream media dancing to your tune when it comes to North Korea. You do realise you are playing a very dangerous game and it could quite easily backfire any time with unforeseen consequences?

Maybe you should all ask yourselves just how much of the testing North Korea is doing is actually being done on behalf of Iran.

North Korea are like a dog with fleas – bloody annoying but not necessarily deadly.

On the other hand, you blatantly ignore to your peril the dangerous behind the scenes plans being albeit slowly at first but now unfolding at a far greater pace and becoming much clearer for those willing to, to see what is coming to pass in places such as Jerusalem, Iran and Germany which is where all the big news of the future will come from.
