“Once again, the Member for Bundaberg has been caught in a lie. *
This time he’s been forced to apologise for publishing false and misleading information.
On 18 April 2024 the House debated the Energy (Renewable Transformation and Jobs) Bill 2023. At the conclusion of the debate the House voted on the bill with members of the Opposition voting against it.
During debate, the LNP moved various amendments to the Energy (Renewable Transformation and Jobs) Bill 2023. These amendments would have guaranteed all existing public assets remain in public hands. There would be NO sale of existing assets.
Instead, Tom Smith posted completely false and misleading information on social media.
It was a blatant lie and as a result Mr Smith has been forced to take down the post and apologise.
I am sick and tired of the petty politics, the games and the lies.
Bundaberg deserves so much better.”
