Budget is fresh start for state
THE Crisafulli government’s 2025-26 $116.8 billion budget lays the foundation for the fresh start Queenslanders voted for, addressing Labor’s youth crime, health, housing and cost of living crises.
Premier David Crisafulli said the Queensland budget was “delivering the foundation for a fresh start for Queensland”.
“We are delivering a plan to restore safety where you live, delivering a plan to restore health services when you need them, delivering a better lifestyle through a stronger economy and delivering a plan for Queensland’s future,” he said.
“This is a delivery budget that puts our promises into action and sets the foundation for the fresh start our state needs.”
Treasurer David Janetzki said the budget charted a path to budget repair while delivering on election commitments for the services, programs and infrastructure Queensland needs.
“We promised a calm and methodical approach to the budget, to begin the challenging task of budget repair and develop a plan to improve the lives of Queenslanders,” he said.
“The budget paves a pathway to budget repair which sustainably funds the programs, services and infrastructure needed to lay the foundation of a fresh start for Queensland’s future.”
