Qld premier scolds 'voices from the South'

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has called out vested interests "from the Deep South", while Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington has insisted she's running a positive election campaign.

Ms Palaszczuk attended a regional rally of about 30 party faithful at the Reid Park race track in Townsville on Sunday.

The premier spoke in front of a wall hung with banners saying 'stability' and 'leadership', pitching her response to the virus and her economy plan.

She took aim at businesses and political rivals calling for the state's borders to open or criticising the closure.

"(My) goals have never changed regardless of the mounting pressure, the voices from the South and the Deep South, you know who I'm talking about," Ms Palaszczuk said.

"Those interests who care more for their bank accounts than they do for the peoples' health."

One of her biggest critics is the federal government and the premier's election pledge targeted one of their traditional areas of responsibility: veterans.

Ms Palaszczuk made a pitch to Australian Defence Force voters in the garrison city in pledging $10 million for veterans' support.

The money will be used to upgrade war memorials and RSL clubs and support homeless veterans.

Funds will also be available for employment assistance, legal support and health and wellbeing.

"While veterans' affairs may usually be considered a Commonwealth responsibility, that won't stop me from being a Premier for our veterans," Ms Palaszczuk said.

Liberal National Party leader Deb Frecklington was on the campaign trail in the Wide Bay-Burnett region on Sunday.

She said she hadn't seen an LNP ad targeting Deputy Premier Steven Miles, but would have to have "a quick look".

The ad shows a video of a fly disappearing into Dr Miles' mouth before another shot of him looking confused appears with the sounds of a dial-up modem.

"Now let's remember the premier's first press conference (of the campaign), it was the premier who set up this campaign as a nasty campaign," Ms Frecklington said.

"I have run a positive campaign around a positive plan to get Queenslanders back into work."

The LNP promised to restore the Paradise Dam and pledged $45 million for two new dams: the Cooranga and Barlil weirs.

Paradise Dam almost failed during ex-tropical Cyclone Oswald in 2013, according to a commission of inquiry.

Ms Frecklington says the dam shouldn't be dismantled, it should be upgraded.

"Surely to goodness they would be the only government Australia to rip down a dam in the middle of a drought, how ridiculous is that," she said.

"The sight of these excavators, this wall coming down, in the middle of a drought is beyond shocking and it must stop and that's exactly what the LNP will do."

Queenslanders go to the polls on Saturday.
