Qld ALP Premier speaks on May Day 2022.
I start by acknowledging the traditional owners of the country. But can I say friends? Isn't it lovely to celebrate Labor Day in May. The Labor government did that to return Labor Day to its rightful spot? It was a greatest thing everyone marching today ... standing up for the rights of workers across this state. And thank you for everything you do for the women and men of this state.
Now, there's something coming up and it's called an election. And we need change. And let me just talk to you briefly. We need a prime minister that unites this country and does not divide this country.
We worked hard in Queensland, we worked hard in relation to the pandemic and the men and women of this state did us proud and we opened our borders when it was safe to do so.
But we've had a prime minister (interjection) that failed to get the vaccines he failed to do quarantine so we built our own quarantine set up. And he also failed to get the RATS test that Queenslanders needed at the time and recently we've had the floods friends. (Interjection: What about the coal mines?) And let me say this. A house that is flooded in Queensland is the same as a house that is flooded in New South Wales and Queensland, Queensland is deserve to be treated with dignity and with respect. And I know that there is a person out there who knows that this country needs a better future.
I know that this person cares passionately about the men and women of this country. I know that this person will unite this country will consult with this country and will make sure that we have secure jobs right throughout this state. Can I please introduce to you the next prime minister of Australia? (Chanting: Albo, Albo, Albo ....)
