Queensland Premier Steven Miles announced a $1.4 billion initiative to provide free school lunches for primary students from Prep to Year 6 if the Labor Party is re-elected on October 26th. The program, impacting over 326,000 students, aims to alleviate cost-of-living pressures and avoid stigmatization. The plan has faced criticism over its financial implications. The Greens also plan to offer free meals in schools if they gain power.
