Over the weekend Queenslanders went to the polls, delivering the state its first change in Government in almost a decade, with the LNP securing a majority government on a promise to voters that they would drive change across housing, cost-of-living, health and youth crime.QFF congratulates the LNP - Liberal National Party on their election win and welcomes David Crisafulli as Queensland’s 41st Premier. QFF and our peak body members engaged all parties extensively throughout the year, advocating our positions and key policy actions across priority areas including water, energy, environment, biosecurity, disaster management, land use planning, farm viability and transport and infrastructure. In the lead up to the election the LNP made several commitments to Queensland’s agriculture sector, including $50 million to enhance biosecurity, a $30 million fund for agricultural innovation and a $12.5 million support package for the Mossman sugarcane industry. These funding commitments were welcomed by industry, and QFF now look forward to working closely with the incoming government in these areas and others of critical importance for farmers and the Queensland agriculture sector. The regions have sent a strong message this election. The LNP has already cited the regional experience of its cabinet, including Premier Crisafulli’s agricultural background, as critical to tackling the challenges impacting Queensland’s rural communities and the regions will now be looking to the government to fulfil their commitments.Read more in our President's Column below 👇 bit.ly/3AwNC5M ...
