LNP: Breathtaking hypocrisy on AFL
The LNP which opposed an AFL stadium on the Gold Coast is now pretending to support AFL, Sport Minister Phil Reeves said today.
"This is the most breathtaking hypocrisy by a political party in years," Mr Reeves said.
"The Bligh Government is building a brand new AFL stadium on the Gold Coast to support the game in Queensland and drive up event dollars.
"But when we announced this stadium the LNP were fiercely opposed and attacked it as an election stunt.
"Now Mr Langbroek has the gall to pretend he is an AFL supporter.
"What a joke. He will be seen for the fraud that he is on this topic.
"The Member for Surfers Paradise has become the 'Johnny come lately' when it comes to supporting AFL and the jobs it creates," Mr Reeves said.
