If the Australian Labor Party want to talk about economic vandalism, they should look at their own record. Former Deputy Premier Jackie Trad gave Queensland the highest unemployment rate in the nation, the highest number of bankruptcies and the worst business confidence in a decade—all before coronavirus too, I might add. Labor have preferenced the Greens ahead of other candidates in every election. If the ALP are so offended by the Greens, they shouldn't accept their preferences at all. The government also look forward to hearing about the Labor Party preferencing the LNP ahead of the Greens in all 93 seats in the Queensland election. Queenslanders have had enough of former Deputy Premier Jackie Trad's deal. She and her government have got to go.
