Gene Tunny over at Queensland Economy Watch has put up a useful post on what we can expect for the Queensland economy in 2015. The general theme is likely to be a weak one as the LNP Government move to an election in a few months.
As Gene notes, the positive impacts from LNG projects coming on-line are unlikely to be immediately reflected in positive outcomes for key indicators such as employment levels. Things in the Far North might be somewhat more optimistic than at a State level as the construction industry gains being seen, and the improvements for the tourism sector from the weaker A$, help the regional economy to a greater extend than State-wide.
