A new poll reveals Queenslanders are increasingly sceptical that the Newman government will deliver on core promises, have a “deep mistrust” of the Queensland Commission of Audit and are experiencing “increasing concern” over the direction of the government, unions claim.

The randomly selected respondents were asked five questions, ranging from opinions on whether the government had kept its promise “not to cut back jobs in front line services” to the outsourcing of government services and the cost of living.

A government spokesman said: “We don’t comment on union sponsored, Reachtel push polls, which are only designed to buy a cheap headline.”
