Qld: Labor to launch state election campaign

Queensland Premier PETER BEATTIE will be joined by federal Labor leader KIM BEAZLEY
today .. to officially launch the party's state election campaign in Brisbane.

Mr BEATTIE's told ABC radio .. he'll use the launch to unveil his vision for the future
.. as well as a 50 million dollar plan to improve literacy.

The premier says he'll spell out his plans for the implementation of the health action
plan, water and education.

Mr BEAZLEY's expected to attack the federal government's industrial relations changes
.. which Mr BEATTIE says will be an issue at the September 9 state poll.





Meanwhile .. Nationals deputy leader JEFF SEENEY will lead the Coalition's campaign
in north Queensland as LAWRENCE SPRINGBORG comforts his family following the death of
his father-in-law.

Mr SPRINGBORG abruptly ended campaigning in Cairns yesterday to console his wife LINDA
over the loss of her 77-year-old father .. ERNEST KULLRICH .. who died at his Ipswich
home yesterday.

The Nationals leader is expected to return to the campaign on Saturday.

Labor has pulled its election attack ads from television .. but the Coalition's continuing
to run their ads lampooning Mr BEATTIE.
