  • Bill Appropriation Bill Community Ambulance
    2066 Approp. Bills; Comm. Amb. Cover Levy Repeal & Rev. & O’r Leg. A’ment Bill 17 Jun 2011 invested in a service that is there to keep each and every one of us safe at the peril of those individual officers. What you see in this budget is an additional investment in order to put GPS tracking into Corrective Services to ensure community safety is enhanced. There are also investments in the vehicle fleet for the Police Service to ensure the fleet is upgraded and maintained. There is an opportunity to make further investments into the future for such things as the technology the member is talking about, and that will be taken seriously in each budget process. The member’s question goes directly to an interest in public service delivery—the sort of public service delivery that the opposition wants to cut out from those on the Sunshine Coast, who have a legitimate expectation that the full $2 billion that was put into the Capital Statement should be kept for the Sunshine Coast. I make a prediction here that we will not see the ridiculous concept of Campbell Newman standing in front of someone at a press conference today; in fact, I do not think we will see him at all today. I think he would have scarpered. He will be running at a million miles an hour. He will be running around up there on level 6, up on tippy-toes, waving his arms around, projecting himself, pointing fingers and blaming people, hopping into all the staff members, getting into the shadow Treasurer, saying to the Leader of the Opposition that it is his fault, doing a nana.
