Mr Nicholls said the team was the right mix of experience, enthusiasm and new ideas, combined with a deep understanding of the issues affecting all Queenslanders from Cape York to Coolangatta and from Brisbane to Bedourie.
“Queenslanders can have confidence that our team will deliver the plans and policies to get Queensland moving,” Mr Nicholls said.
“While NSW and Victoria continue to create more jobs, invest in more infrastructure and deliver more services, Queensland is frozen. Our children’s future is being put at risk as Queensland falls further behind and opportunities dry up.
“We are determined to hold this incompetent Labor/Independent/Katter Party Government to account.”
Deputy opposition leader Deb Frecklington has taken on responsibility for infrastructure, state development, trade and investment. Her promotion has seen Burdekin MP Dale Last take on her former responsibility for agriculture. Hichinbrook MP Andrew Cripps retains his natural resources and mines and northern development role.
