Queensland Premier proposes 12 state-owned petrol stations to cap fuel price increases and establish an Independent Transport Authority if re-elected.
Queensland Premier Steven Miles' Labor government proposes establishing 12 state-owned petrol stations to provide cost-of-living relief and increase competition if re-elected in October. Fuel prices would be capped at five cent daily increases, and the plan includes using "planning call-in powers" and publicly-owned assets to establish the stations, collaborating with RACQ to trial daily price limits. If re-elected, the government plans to establish an Independent Transport Authority to oversee ferries, buses, and trains, aiming to improve coordination and create a more connected transport network.
