Seven News' 6pm bulletin highlighted Alan Jones' criticism of Campbell Newman, in which he described the Premier as a "prostitute and a liar who can't be trusted". It also covered Mr Newman's law enforcement promises, which include more police officers, three new rapid action hubs and iPads for officers.

It's election coverage also showed Labor leader Annastacia Palaszczuk visiting a tradie training centre in Rocklea where she discussed youth unemployment. The report pointed out that for much of the last two week's Ms Palaszczuk had criticised the LNP but failed to reveal alternative policies.

Over on Channel Nine, Jones' entry into the Queensland election campaign also featured, albeit well behind coverage of the hot weather, a food poisoning outbreak, and a bashed Aussie golfer among the items. Jones said he "wouldn't back Campbell Newman to run a chook raffle" among his colourful one-liners about the Premier. Campbell Newman hit back, however, with the devastating line that Jones is "a bloke from Sydney", and pointed out that there was "nothing new in anything that he's said".

No doubt we will hear a lot more from Mr Jones over the next 12 days of the campaign.
