Budget Speech Budget Paper No. 1 ISSN 1445-4890 (Print) ISSN 1445-4904 (Online) Appropriation Bill 2021 First Reading Speech, 15 June 2021 The Honourable Cameron Dick MP Treasurer, Minister for Investment Speaker, the Budget that I present today demonstrates that Queensland’s COVID-19 Economic Recovery Plan is working. This Plan, endorsed by the people of Queensland just eight months ago, recognises the issues that are important to Queenslanders in a time of unprecedented global uncertainty. It recognises the importance of better hospitals in giving Queenslanders the confidence that they will be cared for should they need it. It recognises the importance of smarter schools in educating our children for the jobs of tomorrow. Page 1 of 52 It recognises the importance of safer roads in creating jobs and driving economic growth. And it recognises the importance of social and community support that Queenslanders know our government will deliver and always protect. Our Plan, and the Budget, have at their heart the fundamental lesson that COVID-19 has taught every one of us. When you protect the health of your people, then jobs will grow. That is what we see in Queensland today – an economy that is roaring back to life. Not in spite of our disciplined focus on getting the health response right, but precisely because of it. Page 2 of 52 Fighting COVID-19 is not the binary choice that some would have us believe, with health on one side and the economy on the other. Our economy is succeeding only because we have protected the health of Queenslanders. The right health response enables our economy to recover and grow with confidence. And this is a Budget that invests in growth. Growth in jobs. Growth in services, including health. Growth in vital infrastructure. Growth across Queensland. Our health response stands as a testament to the tenacity, sacrifice and determination of Queenslanders. Page 3 of 52 And the result of that health response is our strong economic recovery. To some, the fact Queensland was able to avoid a depression or prolonged recession would be an achievement in itself. But today, Queensland’s economy is bigger than it was before the pandemic. On almost every indicator we have seen this year, Queensland is outperforming the rest of Australia. Household spending – growing faster than the rest of Australia. Dwelling approvals – growing faster than the rest of Australia. Dwelling investment – growing faster than the rest of Australia. Page 4 of 52 Construction starts – growing faster than the rest of Australia. And our domestic economy – growing faster than the rest of Australia. We have created more jobs since the depths of the pandemic than anywhere else in Australia. Speaker, these are not just numbers on a Budget Paper or a computer screen. They represent workers getting paid. Queenslanders putting food on the table. Families getting a fair share of wealth and, through their spending, reinvesting in our economy. Reinvesting in other Queenslanders. Page 5 of 52 And the best part is that our economic recovery is only just getting started. At the heart of any Labor Budget lies our Party’s enduring mission. A mission 130 years young just last month. And that mission is delivering better, higher paying jobs for Queensland workers. Today I can announce that the 2021 Budget sets a trajectory towards more jobs and stronger economic growth. 1 This financial year, Queensland’s economy will grow by 3 ⁄4 per cent – more than double the national growth rate. By the end of the forward estimates, our economy will still be growing faster than the national average. Page 6 of 52 That economic performance will drive employment growth, with 200,000 jobs predicted to be created over the next four years. This will drive unemployment lower. 1 By the end of the forward estimates, unemployment is forecast to be 5 per cent, down from an estimated 6 ⁄4 per cent in the current quarter. Speaker, we will deliver this improved jobs performance, while facing the challenge of the highest interstate migration in the country.
