LNP won’t act on Labor’s ‘blatant mistruths’: Crisafulli

Queensland Premier-Elect David Crisafulli has held his first press conference since winning the state…
David Crisafulli has declared the Liberal National Party had secured a “good majority” and insisted the vote “exceeded our expectations”.
Mr Crisafulli said overturning the Labor government after nearly a decade in office had been a “big hurdle to overcome”.
“It was like climbing a mountain weighed down with a backpack and in the sleeting snow,” he said.
The LNP leader said he would remind the Labor party in future years about the scare campaigns and “blatant mistruths” that had run during the past four weeks.
“There’s robust debate and conflicts of ideas, and then there’s just out and out blatant mistruths, and the latter can’t become part of modern politics,” he said.
He pointed to the abortion debate, and allegations the LNP would privatise hospitals, as examples of the “mistruths”.
“We won’t do what the former government alleged we were going to, and that’s important,” he said.
