I inform the House that I have received a copy of a resolution passed by the Legislative Assembly of Queensland on 4 June 2014, relating to lowering the cost of living for Queenslanders.

The resolution read as follows—

That this Parliament acknowledges the opportunity to further lower the cost of living for all Queenslanders, especially seniors and pensioners by:

(1) calling on the Federal Government to immediately restore funding for concessions; and

(2) calling on the Australian Labor Party state and federal Members and Senators to pledge their support to repeal the carbon tax, renewable energy target and other green schemes, which would immediately reduce the cost of electricity.

Further, that the Speaker, on behalf of the Legislative Assembly, relay this request to both houses of the Commonwealth Parliament.
