The Australian technology industry can expect less talk of outsourcing and a greater focus on local jobs and innovation as the Labor party takes the reins in Queensland.
The change of focus is in contrast to the technology reform agenda trumpeted by the Newman government in the wake of the calamitous Queensland Health payroll system debacle, when it swept to power in 2012.
The sale of CITEC, the government services bureau slated for disposal by the LNP, is not on new Minister for Housing, Public Works, Science and Innovation, Leeanne Enoch's agenda, given the party was elected on a "No Asset Sales" platform.
"I want to make sure that any decisions we make are going to deliver the best results for Queenslanders effectively and efficiently," she said. "I will be consulting with the Department and industry over coming months but we also made it clear before the election that we wouldn't be going ahead with any asset sales."
