Does Palaszczuk give a dam about Urannah?

The Palaszczuk Labor Government still haven’t applied for federal funding to support the Urannah Dam project, despite promising they would before the State election in October.

The Member for Mackay and her friends in Brisbane have talked about supporting this project, but now it’s come to the crunch they’re not following through with their promises.

We’re now seeing reports in the media that the Palaszczuk Government has refused to back Urannah Dam after promising they would before the state election.

I’m asking the Member for Mackay Julieanne Gilbert and the Palaszczuk Government; do you support the Urannah Dam project or not?

This project is going to provide 1,800 jobs, we’ve got people out of work and people struggling to make ends meet – I don’t want to see this become another Carmichael Mine situation where the Queensland Government sits on the fence and drags the chain for five years to appease the greens.

It stacks up economically, it’s going to deliver jobs, sure up our water reserves, open up agricultural land and support resource projects.

It should happen and it’s going to happen, so the Palaszczuk Government need to stop delaying the inevitable and get on board.
