Jobs and cost of living are the biggest issues concerning Queensland voters, according to new polling that has the LNP ahead on a two-party preferred basis.

A ReachTEL poll, commissioned by parent advocacy organisation The Parenthood, revealed jobs and the economy were the most important issues for 29.7 per cent of Queenslanders when deciding how to cast their vote.

Cost of living (24.7 per cent) and then health and hospitals (18.9 per cent) were the next big hot-topic items, while keeping assets in state hands rated 11.7 per cent, education was 8.8 per cent and transport, including public transport and traffic congestion, was 6.3 per cent.

Labor and the LNP have been campaigning hard on jobs and cost of living over the first 18 days of the election trail, with Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk even saying “jobs, jobs, jobs” this week.
