The momentum that Premier Miles was gaining in the final weeks of the 2024 Queensland Election could all be brought undone at any minute now.
This comes as Labor finds themselves in the crosshairs of BIG PIZZA ROUNDA.
A staple item for all Queensland school tuckshops for generations, the Pizza Rounda is at risk of losing their largest customer base – that’s if primary schools stop ordering their snap frozen product by the container load.
Something had to be done.
One of the shadowy figures in Queensland politics, the influence of the Pizza Rounda lobbyists is mostly cloaked in mystery.
But now, with the Queensland Premier offering to provide healthy and FREE school lunches to every public primary school student in Queensland – the sinister puppeteers of tuckshop menus must cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.
It is believed that BIG PIZZA ROUNDA has donated up to $200 million dollars to the LNP in the 24 hours since Queensland Premier Steven Miles unveiled the election promise to make school lunches free for every student in prep through to year 6.
Labor estimates the move would save parents $1,600 per child, per year – and benefit the more than 326,000 students who attend state primary schools in Queensland. That means the average working parent only has to spend $1 per day to get their kids out of the house, assuming they are catching 50 cent buses to and from school.
Mr Miles described the free lunches as an investment in the state’s future that would put money back into the pockets of parents.
The research has also proven that healthy school lunches have shown to keep kids in school and out of trouble, while also preventing future health issues that children may face after drinking soft drink and eating twisties every single day of their young lives.
This policy might have been something that the PIZZA ROUNDA machine could have ignored, if not for the word HEALTHY.
During his Sunday press conference, Premier Steven Miles unveiled salad sandwiches and sliced fruit as an example of one of these lunches.
The absence of the famous high-salt pocket of melted cheese and bacon bits in Labor’s plan has jumpstarted a political smear campaign that will make the Indigenous Voice look like an amateur theatre production.
It is not yet known what Premier Miles has planned to combat this billion dollar attack on his leadership – perhaps expanding free lunches to include politicians?
