  • Labor will establish 12 publicly-owned fuel stations if re-elected in October, with the sites to be determined by where competition is most needed across the state.
  • In his state of the state address on Tuesday, Mr Miles will also announce Labor's plan to ban petrol stations from raising the price of fuel more than once a day and a trial to cap price increases to 5 cents a litre a day.
  • Australasian Convenience and Petroleum Marketers Association chief executive Mark McKenzie told ABC Radio Brisbane it was unclear if Labor had the ability to implement the plan.

Probably only the ten largest cities/towns in Queensland have public transport (most people's idea of alternative options). There is a large base of voters that could be swayed by this. I would say half the state's population doesn't have any access to PT locally, but surely there are actual numbers somewhere. My parents live up north and they're always grumbling about "things for Brisbane" announced by the state government.
