The LNP brought back TB https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/queensland/absolute-disaster-tb-centre-faces-closure-20120801-23eja.html

The LNP closed the Office of Climate change

The LNP sent people living in Qld Department of Housing accommodation letters asking them to share or downsize

The LNP make changes to law about Civil Unions to abolish the public ceremony

The LNP defunded:

  • Sisters Inside – support and rehab for mainly indigenous women prisoners
  • In home Support services for severely disabled
  • Healthy Community f –aids prevention programs
  • homeless youth support scheme which provides counselling, rehab and medical servicesto homeless youth
  • taxi vouchers for renal dialysis patients
  • breastscreen - because men rarely get breast cancer
  • Queensland Voice for Mental Health
