Queensland s dental waiting list is continuing to balloon, with more than 153,000 people queued in February. The staggering figure has grown from 110,075 in just five years, prompting calls for better resourcing and a partnership with the private sector. Opposition Leader David Crisafulli claimed the waitlist was causing grief for thousands of Queenslanders. It s heart breaking that a waiting list that has been reduced to zero by 2015 is now at levels we ve never seen before, he said. Opposition Leader David Crisafulli. Picture: Tara Croser.

A SECOND Palaszczuk Government minister has been caught holidaying in New South Wales, defying calls for Queenslanders support struggling tourism businesses in the Sunshine State. Queensland s Energy and Public Works Minister Mick de Brenni is holidaying in Angourie near Yamba, about 180km south of the border. It comes one week after Deputy Premier Steven Miles was controversially spotted holidaying in Byron Bay. Mr de Brenni, a third-term Labor MP, said the trip was organised more than one year ago. My family booked this holiday in 2019, it was non-refundable and like a lot of Queenslanders we rescheduled due to the pandemic and I ve now been able to take them, he said.
