Summary:

While it is often stated that society is judged on how well it treats the most vulnerable, an integral aspect of this is leadership and vision.

While it is often stated that society is judged on how well it treats the most vulnerable, an integral aspect of this is leadership and vision. With the state parliament in caretaker mode from Sunday, February 19 and election campaigning starting in earnest next week, it is crucial that all political parties put forward their positions on how they will work to support people experiencing disadvantage and poverty in Queensland.

We encourage parties to put forward their positions and will watch with interest as the election unfolds. With a view to the longer term QCOSS will be releasing information on its position for A Fairer Queensland during the election. This vision will outline what we believe are the key priorities for government in supporting the most vulnerable in communities across Queensland.
