, Dean of the Griffith Business School, all told Fact Check that calculating yearly averages from the trend data was an appropriate way to assess Ms Frecklington's claim.
On calendar years, in 2019 Queensland's average monthly unemployment rate was 6.2 per cent while Tasmania's was 6.3 per cent. In 2018 Western Australia recorded the highest average in the nation and in 2017 it was South Australia . In 2016 both South Australia and Tasmania topped Queensland and Western Australia matched it.
Calculating the average unemployment rate for the year to March as well as the preceding three years also fails to confirm Ms Frecklington's claim.
I’d like to see if you face check DanielAndrewsMP with the same vigor when the time comes. Oh that’s right the time has come and you were silent!
Well she is a member of the national lieberal party would u expect anything other the B.S
How does it feel to be wrong? AGAIN
Shame on her for lying!! QLD you know what to do !! Vote not for her to be in office. We don't need another liar.
Good to see Fact check is still continuing at our ABC
I tweeted yesterday...people who make their living in public life, vis public servants, politicians, journalists, et al must be accountable at law for telling lies. Fines, banning them from their job, in the end jail. Only then will alternative facts and fake news be outlawed
😏👇🏻
You must be very concerned for you mate Palachook to be putting this up. :)
Unfortunately ABC NEWS is just bias so why would anyone take any notice of your so called fact check.. have you ever challenged anything that Annastacia has said?
“Wrong” is the right word on so many levels!
I bet plenty of people believe her and no amount of fact checking will change their minds.
LiberalLiar
AustralianStory Liar liar pants on fire ?
ABC fact check? Yeah good one.
3wombats Lie not wrong
The LNP are a basket case in Queensland.
only fact check LNP on things they're wrong about and only fact check Labor on things they're right about.....that's not bias! lol
How very Trumpian of the LNP and Clive Palmer to just lie through their teeth. We deserve better than this from our politicians.
Who would have guessed?
Deb the Freckle is a wrong'un. 🤪
Scomo taught his little apprentice well. Her speech yesterday was quite funny. She isn’t winning any awards soon that’s for sure.
Hey I’ve fact-checked every mainstream economist’s, every journalist’s, every politician’s, advocacy of endless growth. Here’s what I’ve found: WRONG Even green growth is a LIE.
Do this more please. All the time. For every politician.
Journalists interviewing politicians and CEOs should ask two basic Questions. Q1-do you have the evidence and if so, what is it? Q2-If it is estimate, then what is your modelling for forecasting such figures or data? Scomo is very good at sophistry of words with no evidence.
Yawn.....Qld just need to dititch the socialist Labor witch
'Ms Frecklington is wrong'
Vote out this woeful ALP government auspol QLDvotes QLDvotes2020 qldpol LNPQLD OneNationAus UnitedAusParty

Seriously, every day ABC news sounds more and more like CNN CNNFakeNews with these 'fact checks' etc. Stop it. STOP IT NOW.
AlexDevantier Really!... the LNP talk a whole pile of shit.. who would of thought!
What's new these are politicians & especially Qld LNP who as part of the job description when they apply should b able 2 tell good convincing 'Furphy's' Just look CampbellNewman's record & currently the auspol corruption & lying allegations getting thrown around. What's New ?
LNP lies
How about you fact check Dan Andrews in relation to his many statements about Hotel Quarantine? That’s right he can’t recall anything so nothing to see there our ABC!
I am fed up with ABC and RMIT’s political bias, and their cherry-picking of what to “fact check”. Maybe somebody should fact check how many times they’ve “fact checked” the ABC or the ALP? These articles would be a joke if they didn’t seek to influence elections..!
She's the equivalence of a Newman in a Dress.,... ... Yes, Women are just as capable of being as incapable as Newman was.!
ever fact checked the Qld labor government
They are all lying in equal measure
Geez not like lnpqld to lie. And people try and tell me how the 'feel' DebFrecklington is honest although they've never actually met her.
Again an example of the ABC splitting hairs to protect their Left Wing QldLabourmates.Isn’t it time the ABC Australia’s publicly funded media outlet focused on delivering objective investigative news reports without left biased editorials?Or is the ABC more focused on LABOUR’s PR
dictatordeb is at it again.
What, politicians lying, nonsense!
Jeez, an LNP leader telling porkies. Who'd have guessed?
Can someone fact check the ABC on them being biased.
Dictatordeb lies. I'm not shocked by that at all
ABC goes full CNN in the final days.

Frecklington shoots down North Queensland referendum push | Sky News AustraliaOpposition Leader Deb Frecklington has ruled out a policy to divide North and South Queensland put forward by Katter's Australian Party. \n\nKAP pushed for a referendum to be held six months after the election to determine whether North Queensland should be split into its own state. \n\nAsked whether she would support the move – with polling showing a majority of North Queenslanders in favour – Ms Frecklington said “it is a no”. \n\n“When I first became the leader of the Liberal National Party I stood up and I said I want to be a premier for all of Queensland. I want to bridge the divide between the south east and regional Queensland,” she said. \n\n“The best way, the best way to save North Queensland is to vote for the LNP.” \n\nMeanwhile, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has reiterated Queensland Labor will not be doing any deals with other parties ahead of the October 31 election. \n\nMs Palaszczuk was asked whether she would be willing to form a minority with the Greens. \n\n“I said no deals,” she responded. \n\n“It’s basically us against everyone else.” \n\n\n DebFrecklington NoBeersForNewsCorp DebFrecklington Brisbane can’t survive without the mining royalties so not surprised a city centric politician wants to keep her hand in the cookie jar DebFrecklington The country is already divided.

'It's time Palaszczuk went': One Nation refuses to support a Labor government | Sky News AustraliaOne Nation Leader Pauline Hanson has accused Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk of hiding behind the pandemic, reiterating the party would not be making any deals with Labor. \n\n“Annastacia has used this as a political ploy, she has not saved Queenslanders right, and she destroyed our economy, it’s about time she went,” Ms Hanson said. \n\n“I will not support a Labor government, none of my candidates will support a Labor government.” \n\nLabor and LNP members also traded barbs over LNP costings, with Treasurer Cameron Dick saying “the reason Deb Frecklington is hiding her costings is because she is hiding her cuts”. \n\nMs Frecklington defended the party, saying they would release their costings on Thursday “like we always said we were going to”. \n\n“But I’ll also say this, with the LNP’s costings there will be no cuts to the Queensland Health, there’ll be no efficiency dividend in Queensland Health,” she said. \n\nPremier Palaszczuk and Ms Frecklington will go head-to-head this afternoon at the Sky News Australia and The Courier Mail People’s Forum. \n\n\n\n PaulineHansonOz AnnastaciaMP Hanson should crawl back to the sewer she came from PaulineHansonOz AnnastaciaMP ABC News 24 is free to air - right now!

The LNP's best hope is a minority government: Clennell | Sky News AustraliaSky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says the LNP's best hope for the Queensland election is a minority government suggesting there aren't many indications Deb Frecklington's team will easily get over the line.\n\n'From everything I can gauge, it looks like a very tight race. No one is really saying a Frecklington majority government is a possibility,' he said.\n\n'It looks like the best hope for the LNP is a minority government and some confidence in the Labor camp they can get over the line.\n\nMr Andrews said there was a view in Labor they were in trouble six months ago but it is now believed the COVID-19 crisis and tough border policy could get them over the line, possibly as a minority government.\n\n'The clear preference from Labor if it goes to minority government would be to work with the independents and Katter's Australia Party rather than the Greens,' Mr Clennell said.\n\n'There is one Green at the moment in the parliament but a strong belief that that could become two with Jackie Trad looking in trouble in her seat.\n\n'There are fears from federal Labor MPs about a Palaszczuk-Greens coalition - they think that would be diabolical for federal Labor.'\n\n aclennell DebFrecklington fight for our Cinemas to open! aclennell DebFrecklington No shit Sherlock 🙄 aclennell DebFrecklington A minority lead LNP Government would be a better outcome than another 3 years under Hard Labor. But I'm still hopeful and fingers crossed for DebFrecklington to win this election outright and lead Queensland out of this mess that AnnastaciaMP and QLDLabor are leaving behind.

Cold air funnel spotted over Warwick as storms hit southern QueenslandA severe thunderstorm warning has been issued for a number of regions across southern Queensland, with the Bureau of Meteorology saying there is a strong possibility of large hail, damaging winds and heavy rainfall. Wow. Good image. The radar however shows more of a 200km long rain band of light to moderate rainfall and areas of heavier stuff. Not your typical storm front.
