POLL CALL: No new taxes promise as border stoush rubbished

There's been a reprieve on the reopening of the Queensland-NSW border, while the party leaders have followed in each others' footsteps, with Labor in Cairns and the LNP in Townsville

Summary

  • Queensland's Chief Health Officer says there is still time for NSW authorities to find links to one outstanding case of community transmission which is threatening to push back the border reopening, which has become a political football at the start of the election campaign.
  • Labor is jetting out of Townsville today after spending the day there yesterday, however Annastacia Palaszczuk is expected to stay in the north of the state.
  • LNP leader Deb Frecklington is in Townsville today, where she has spruiked previously announced policies but no new announcements while targeting the region's ultra-marginal seats, including Townsville itself, which Lab or holds on just 0.38 per cent.
  • Both parties have committed to no new taxes in the next term of government, but while Labor says it will borrow to build, the LNP says it will chase a surplus.
