But all eyes will be on Opposition leader Tim Nicholls this budget estimates period as he steers the LNP attack against the government for the first time

Since ascending to the LNP leadership Mr Nicholls has altered the Opposition narrative when it comes to the Palaszczuk Government, morphing "frozen at the wheel" to "asleep at the wheel", as he seeks to paint the Labor administration as "know nothing, do nothing".

After the Opposition failed to land any solid blows against the government last year, with a strong focus on government MP and minister scandals, this time around it is focussing on what the government has done – or more specifically, hasn't done – instead.

Top of the list – the 90 reviews the government has ordered during its 74 weeks in power.

Ms Palaszczuk has encouraged a "steady ship" approach to governing, preferring to take the more cautious approach.

But the Opposition will be zeroing in on what hasn't been released, including government reports that detail how the public service and its agencies are running.

The March quarter public service workforce statistics are yet to be released, even as the June quarter report is due.

There the Palaszczuk Government has some form. The December quarter, which showed an increase of almost 5000 public servants, was delayed until March.

The biannual State of the Sector report, which examines public service satisfaction levels and trends, was due last year but is still to be released.

The Child Safety Department quarterly performance data, which details the number of children in protection and suspected abuse cases across the state, was also due in March and has also been delayed.

All three – plus the 90 reviews – will form part of the Opposition strategy during the hearings.

"Three major reports are yet to be issued, one of which was due as far back as last year," Mr Nicholls said on Monday night.

"The other two reports are four months overdue.

"For a government that pretends to be open and transparent they are failing dismally to come clean with Queenslanders on a number of important reporting measures.

"This is further proof that Labor is more interested in reviewing than doing."

Ms Palaszczuk will be followed by Curtis Pitt on the first day of the hearings, with the Treasurer one of the Opposition's biggest estimates targets.

It will be chasing a 'please explain' regarding the money taken from the public service defined benefits scheme, including how badly its investments suffered under the market volatility created by the Brexit decision, after Mr Pitt admitted to Fairfax Media it had experienced a "modest" hit.

Estimates hearings will continue until next Thursday.
