Labor will establish 12 publicly-owned fuel stations if re-elected in October, with the sites to be determined by where competition is most needed across the state.

In his state of the state address on Tuesday, Mr Miles will also announce Labor's plan to ban petrol stations from raising the price of fuel more than once a day and a trial to cap price increases to 5 cents a litre a day.

Australasian Convenience and Petroleum Marketers Association chief executive Mark McKenzie told ABC Radio Brisbane it was unclear if Labor had the ability to implement the plan.

Huh! Thats a bit of a populist swing. Not necessarily bad, just populist. Could work with voters. Might be an expensive ox-cart to pull on the otherside though.

@Gorgritch_umie_killa @PetulantBandicoot "Desperate times call for desperate measures". Qld Labor in a nutshell right now. Wonder what the next desperate move will be. I don't mind really as long as it's good for the citizens.
