“So you can’t just say you have one without telling Queenslanders what’s in it, especially when you have the kind of polling results today that say it is more likely – very likely – that he will be the premier come October.”

Crisafulli, also in Mackay on Friday, insisted he remained the underdog going into October’s poll.

“History shows what needs to occur to change government in Queensland is huge and it’s tough,” he said.

“The struggle for us in winning those seats, and changing government, is a big one and I just can’t stress enough, the task ahead remains a massive one.

“We remain the underdog and the numbers that drive us are the challenges across the big four issues that are weighing Queenslanders down at the moment.”

Those issues, Crisafulli said, were health, housing, cost of living and youth crime.

Debt reduction was not mentioned during a 20-minute media conference in Mackay, ahead of an LNP town hall on health.

The LNP has yet to select a candidate to take on Gilbert in Mackay, but Crisafulli said he was “quietly confident” the party would have its candidate selected soon.

“We already have approaching 30 candidates and it’s six months to go, so that’s candidates in the field earlier than we’ve ever seen them,” he said.

“More will roll out and they will be community champions.

“...We’re giving people a strong choice and we have to, because we’ve got a massive mountain to climb.

“We still need to win 14 seats and that is a Herculean task, but we have good candidates in the field, we’re putting forward good solutions to the crises of Queenslanders are living through.”
