00:00He's already known to be a dab hands at making school lunches.
00:06Sandwiches and burgers.
00:08Stephen Miles putting some meat on the bones of his plans to provide free lunches for all primary kids if re-elected.
00:15Now this is a cheeseburger.
00:17But there's been a healthy dose of scepticism about the logistics of rolling out such a bold plan.
00:22If schools can't do it, the Premier says other groups like Meals on Wheels can.
00:27Those schools will be able to decide whether to outsource them or how much to outsource them
00:32and they'll be able to do that for $8 a meal.
00:35This is Labor's lunchbox lunacy.
00:38The Premier says he wants these free lunches to kick off from week one of school next year
00:42but he concedes it could take some time to ramp up.
00:46We'll work with every school community to design programs that suit them and their resources.
00:53More than 600,000 people have already cast their vote.
00:57Neither side wants to attract controversy.
01:00But LNP candidates continue to be quizzed over their personal stance on abortion laws.
01:05We're asking candidates about their position on abortion.
01:08Can you tell us now today what it is?
01:11There will be... we're sticking to our plan.
01:14It's not part of our plan.
01:16The topic gaining momentum after threatened LNP candidate Freya Ostapovich
01:21told a voter at pre-poll that she was pro-life but couldn't say anything until in government.
01:27We as a team are ruling out changes to abortion.
01:31And Freya's committed to that.
01:34There's going to be no change.
01:35I know he's lying.
01:37You know he's lying.
01:39He is lying to get through the election.
01:42He knows he cannot stop a change to the state's abortion laws even if he wanted to.
01:49Let me be categorically unequivocal.
01:52There will be no changes to abortion laws.
01:54And that is the position, not just of me, of my team.
01:58The LNP was on the Sunshine Coast talking security cameras in its bid to beat crime.
02:03Former police officer and candidate Marty Hunt also questioned given his previous opposition to abortion laws.
02:10I'm part of this team and I'm committed to what the Leader said, no changes to the abortion laws.
02:15That's my commitment.
02:16The LNP is back in Brisbane tonight while Stephen Miles is in the state's most marginal seat.
