Can’t get their heads around it<\/h2>\n

Try as we might, we’ve been unable to explain the decline in the rate of increase in federal funding for Queensland’s health and education to Opposition Leader Lawrence Springborg<\/a>. The\u00a0LNP appears to be still making the same mistake as when they were in government of trying to win over voters with flashing dollar signs. However, Queensland’s social media population is far wiser.<\/p>\n

Springborg even suggested that there was no problem because “Those arrangements don’t kick in until the end of this parliamentary term.\u00a0You’re talking about an issue which is a reduction in growth, not a reduction in funding. But that doesn’t even come into play, at all, until the end of this state parliamentary term, only six months out from the end of this term of the Palaszczuk-Gordon government.” Read more at:\u00a0Federal Budget 2015 ‘failed Queensland’: Curtis Pitt.<\/a><\/p>\n

#qldpol<\/a> That's not the problem, @SpringborgMP<\/a>. How can we explain it better? It's the decline in the rate of increase. @camerondickqld<\/a><\/p>\n
