If anyone had any lingering doubts about whether "jobs" were on the agenda for the Palaszczuk government, the premier's speech on Wednesday has confirmed it.

In just over 17 minutes, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the word "jobs" 11 times at a Capricornia Chamber of Commerce lunch in Yeppoon, in addition to talking about the economy, work, infrastructure, employment, education, tourism and Shoalwater Bay.

The word "region" (or deviations) was used 20 times, "economy" (or deviations) eight times, "work" (or deviations) 12 times, "employment" (or deviations) four times and "tourism" (or deviations) nine times.

The premier is spending her week in central Queensland, announcing a $200 million jail expansion in Rockhampton, holding community cabinet, a town hall meeting and is expected to travel to Gladstone on Thursday.
