The Sheldon-Borbidge review into what went wrong for the LNP at the January 31 election has returned a list of criticisms into the one-term Newman Government. Credit:Renee Melides Mr Pitt managed to find one behind fellow MP Stirling Hinchliffe's ear, as he spent his way through a private members statement at the former government's expense. "It is not often that a state government in Australia discusses the printing of currency as an economic strategy," he said on Tuesday. "We know the hyper-inflationary potential when a government ramps up the production of its own currency. "We saw it in Germany in the 1920s and Zimbabwe in the 2000s. But thankfully, these matters are not a concern with the currency I am talking about today.

"Because this particular currency has essentially no value. You would struggle to find any market willing to trade in it. "I am talking, of course, about Campbell Currency." But Deputy Opposition Leader John-Paul Langbroek was not amused. "From the Treasurer today we saw a goofy game of tossing a coin in the air," he said. "That is not what Queensland voted for.

"Queenslanders didn't vote for what we saw today in the chamber. "They voted for a government that has to bring a budget down in two months. So we need to see, where is the surplus going to come from,will there be no more debt and definitely no more taxes, because that is what they promised during the campaign." Half of the 1000 medallions ordered by former premier Campbell Newman were to have the state's flower, while the other half featured the Queensland Government shield and Mr Newman's name. "If I had a coin for every dollar that was wasted by the arrogant Newman Government, I'd be sitting in Kings Landing as the Master of Coins," Mr Pitt said. "Right there beside Joffrey Baratheon, the Member for Kawana.

"A self-indulgent Game of Thrones was played out over the last three years, at the expense of everyday Queenslanders. "Most people wait until after they leave politics to get their name on a coin. Not this lot." But the coins appear to have increased in value since being freed from the government's gift vault - journalists requesting one for, ahem, photographic purposes, were told they were in "short supply".
