New Queensland premier’s plans for first 100 days

As the dust settles on the LNP’s victory at the Queensland state election, David Crisafulli will immediately begin ticking off a list of promises after outlining his targets for his first 100 days in government.

He will be able to form a majority government and Mr Crisafulli will become Queensland’s next premier – the first time the LNP will hold power in the sunshine state since 2015.

He campaigned on a youth crime crackdown which will be one of his first priorities in his first 100 days.

In a 100-day roadmap released two weeks before the election, he said he would enact the “Making Queensland Safer” laws by the end of the year.

As part of a suite of legislation aimed at youth crime, he would begin tenders on its “Regional Reset” and “Staying on Track” programs aimed at diverting youth from crime and rehabilitating young offenders.

“Elections are about people, and it’s about doing good for those who don’t have a voice, and what history will show is that tonight was the turning corner of the youth crime crisis,” he said on Saturday night.

“And it will be the turning corner to mean that there are fewer victims in this state and by Christmas ‘Adult Crime, Adult Time’ will be law and we’re going to work on early intervention and rehabilitation to give kids the opportunity to turn their life around as well.”

Also high on the government’s agenda will be a review of the state’s infrastructure in preparation for the Olympic Games which are now less than eight years away.

He has also vowed to make 50c public transport fares permanent, extending the initiative brought in by outgoing premier Steven Miles, initially on a six-month trial basis.

Mr Crisafulli also said open a review into Queensland’s DNA lab backlog in order to “deliver justice for victims”.

Tax reform is also high on his agenda having promised to scrap GP payroll tax and stamp duty on new homes for first-time buyers.

He has also promised to nix the Pioneer-Burdekin Pumped Hydro scheme, which was estimated to cost up to $24bn.

“We’ve got a job to do and it’s important that Queenslanders see that we’ll keep our word that we do the things that we said we were going to do,” Mr Crisafulli said as he entered Parliament House in Brisbane on Sunday morning.
