Treasurer David Janetzki is due to hand down the LNP's first budget in 11 years at 2pm today, and the Crisafulli government has been at pains to allay public service fears of cut-and-burn austerity. The public service could perhaps be forgiven for feeling a little wary this morning – the last time an LNP government came into power, 14,000 of them found themselves without a job.

Crisafulli has already telegraphed a record infrastructure spend, turbocharged in part by the coming Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. In January, Janetzki delivered Queensland's Mid-Year Fiscal and Economic Review, which he repeatedly referred to as 'Labor's last budget update'.
