Our Queensland, Our Future - Queensland Rail


Our Queensland, Our Future is a community campaign focused on ensuring that Queensland continues to receive high quality essential services like energy, transport, health and education.

These services are currently under threat from the State Government of being privatised and contracted out in their response to the Commission of Audit.

What the State Government has proposed is privatisation through outsourcing and contracting out. They say we will still own the poles, wires, trains and ports, whilst behind the scenes, they are proposing to outsource en masse. In our communities we know that buildings and assets don’t provide services, people do. In many departments the government will own and control nothing more than a ‘shell’.The services, assets and the workforce will be sold off and privatised.

Thousands of Queenslanders right across the state are joining together to let the Queensland Government know that they do not support the plans to privatise our services and outsource our jobs.

Support the campaign by signing our petition and tell the government not to privatise and contract out our assets and essential services.
