Tune in for the Leaders' Debate - kicking off in a few minutes! #leadersdebate

.Steven Miles: "I know we need to do more. My first budget will do more than a state government has done before." #leadersdebate

.David Crisafulli: "I embrace good ideas from across the board". The Opposition Leader outlines a policy to encourage solar upgrades for rental properties to take the edge off power price increases for tenants, acknowledging the plan was trialled in 2019.

.Meals on Wheels Matt Webster: "We are shouldering a huge amount of work during this cost of living crisis... We really need more help as an organisation... What can both of you do to help practically and financially to help services at the coal face?" #leadersdebate

.David Crisafulli: "During the last nine years, the net increase in social housing has been less than 200 built per year. I want to get more stock built on time and on budget." He says working with the private sector to get homes built is part of the answer. #leadersdebate

.Steven Miles on the impacts of cost of living on his household: "I'm fortunate, I'm in a well paying job - but that hasn't always been the case...I do the groceries at home, and I often think of the families in my electorate and how hard it must be." #leadersdebate

Closing remarks at the The Courier-Mail and QCOSS Leaders' Debate: .David Crisafulli: "I want Queenslanders to know I'm serious about dealing with the structural issues we're facing." .Steven Miles: "My first budget will be all about cost of living... It will be the biggest ever."
