The Queensland Government has announced that it intends to sell-off some of our public assets to help fill in its budget bottom line. Queensland Rail's coal and freight arms, Queensland Motorways, the Port of Brisbane and forestry plantations are all up for sale.

Queensland unions are opposed to the sell-off of public assets which are operated primarily in the interests of the people of Queensland, rather than in the interests of shareholders' profits. We want the government to maintain our assets - not sell them off in a panic when times are tough.

Unions will be embarking on a campaign against the Bligh Government's planned asset sell-off - keep checking this page for updates and details of planned campaign activities.
