flag Queensland’s government missed its consulting spending target, overspending by $1 billion and raising fiscal concerns.

flag Queensland’s LNP government faces criticism for failing to meet its promised consulting spending cuts, with 2024-25 projections reaching $4 billion—$1 billion over the pledged cap. flag Despite a $6.8 billion four-year savings goal, the government revised its approach, using a higher $4.5 billion baseline to claim a $500 million saving. flag The newly formed government consulting office, funded with $15 million and only appointing a managing director in November, remains in early development. flag Critics say the initiative lacks transparency and accountability, especially as the independent audit office dropped planned oversight reports. flag The state’s operating deficit is now expected to grow by $400 million, raising fiscal concerns.
