JPL’s promise at odds with LNP actions?

Queensland Opposition Leader John-Paul Langbroek did what all Opposition Leaders do and pledge a new style of politics and clean up the obviously broke Government.  He calls it truth in politics.

‘‘We will introduce truth in political advertising laws that will ensure Queenslanders get a fair-dinkum choice between the policies,’’ he said.

‘‘Our plan to clean up government will stop once and for all the lies that Queenslanders were exposed to at the last state election.’’

But how will he deal with service contracts?  Hopefully not the same way the LNP does.

Queensland's Liberal National Party paid almost $250,000 to companies owned by senior party officials in the first six months of the year.

The LNP last night defended the payments, saying high-ranking party figures were paid via their companies on a contractual basis rather than being employed.

…

An LNP spokesman said party members should not be concerned about the payments, as the relevant officials were not employed but instead contracted through their companies.

Will we really see a new era of truth in politics, or just that same old deals for mates mantra?
