Queensland's premier has made another bold cost-of-living pitch to voters, promising to establish state-owned petrol stations and capped fuel price rises.
Steven Miles says he and his opponent, Liberal-National leader David Crisafulli, differ in many ways but the key one is vision.
"He wants to be a small target, I want to outline a big vision," Mr Miles said during his first State of the State address on Tuesday.
"In October, Queenslanders will have a choice ... between my clear and detailed vision for Queensland and an opposition who are unknown and are determined to stay that way."
The premier's "unashamedly ambitious vision" includes capping daily fuel price rises to five cents and mandated online notifications of any increases if his government retains power in October.
"There is no need for fuel prices to be jumping around all day and for retailers to only notify consumers after it has happened," he said.
Government owned fuel stations - operated by Energy Queensland on a cost recovery basis - will sell diesel, petrol, electric vehicle chargers and potentially have convenience stores to sell food but no cigarettes.
The state's opposition said the initiative is a misguided and "harebrained idea" which will only drive up petrol prices.
"This is a level of desperation I thought I'd never see from any government in Queensland," Mr Crisafulli said.
"When the state government can't deliver the services it's responsible for, it now wants to deliver service stations ... it's fanciful."
Western Australia has legislation to limit fuel price rises and Queensland would have to introduce laws to do the same.
Industry body RACQ welcomed the pricing initiative and flagged the model was working well in Perth to change the duration of the fuel price cycle.
"We are confident that if we can lessen the impact of the fuel cycle, if we can shorten the duration of the fuel cycle and encourage greater competition, that people will pay less for their fuel than they currently pay," chief executive David Carter told reporters.
The RACQ is yet to put forward their position on the government's state-owned fuel station proposal, claiming it requires more analysis.
A service station body warned the state-owned stations will not "shift the dial" on petrol prices.
"Tax-payer funded entry into the competitive, low-margin fuel market is a bold and risky use of Queensland taxpayer fund," Australian Convenience and Petroleum Markets Association CEO Mark McKenzie said.
"Why stop at service stations? Why not car insurance, home insurance and supermarkets."
The National Retail Association warned the state-owned fuel stations will not be a "silver bullet" for the large state and raised concerns it will push independent stores out of the market by taxpayer-funded competition.
Other election commitments on Tuesday included the plan to create an Independent Transport Authority to move Translink - responsible for ferries, buses and trains - out of the Department of Transport and Main Roads into having its own board and CEO.
A traffic management centre would also be set up to oversee all public transport and road infrastructure in one place.
Mr Miles' government will also guarantee at least 50 per cent of road funding will be outside Brisbane meaning major thoroughfares like the Bruce Highway will receive $250 million per year from 2027 - an increase of $50 million.
In a bid to sway voters ahead of October where polls suggest the LNP will succeed, the Miles government has budgeted multiple cost-of-living tailored packages including $1000 energy rebates to every household and 20 per cent off car registration.
