MORE IN 2024
Queenslanders need more cost of living relief in 2024 and we need politicians who will fight for us. Will you add your voice to the campaign?
Why we need to make our voice heard
The crisis is not over.
Queenslanders are still facing real cost of living challenges.
Inflation may be slowing but prices are still going up.
There is a lot of talk about lower interest rates but nothing has happened yet.
As Queenslanders continue to struggle each and every day with the cost of living we need more relief in 2024.
Our campaign is calling for Queensland politicians to put people before company profits.
Will you add your voice to our call?

We need Queensland politicians to listen to the community but our message is only as strong as our numbers.
Big business will always be able spend more to defend their profits but if enough Queenslanders speak out we can win.
