CONTENTIOUS laws to legalise euthanasia would be introduced within 100 days under a re-elected Palaszczuk Government which has also pledged to deliver a long-awaited budget by Christmas.

Voluntary-assisted dying became a late focal point of Labor's campaign two weeks ago when Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced laws would be introduced in February next year.

Rushing the Queensland Law Reform Commission which had earlier this year been asked to draft laws by March, 2021, the Premier said she would offer her MPs a conscience vote.

But while the Palaszczuk Government has also pledged to hand down a budget in the week of November 30, the majority of its election promises will be rolled out over the next four years.

Anchoring its pitch to voters around job creation while running a scare campaign about LNP job cuts, Labor has pledged to hire 6190 teachers and 1139 teachers aides with the state facing a looming teacher shortage.

More than 9400 frontline health staff including 5800 nurses and midwives, 1500 doctors, 1700 allied health professionals and 475 paramedics would be hired over the next four years.

It's also promised to modernise state schools as part of a $1 billion cash-splash on new classrooms and admin buildings.

This would also include $258 million for multipurpose halls and performing arts centres, $180 million for capital projects at Catholic and independent schools, $110 million for infrastructure upgrades, $50 million for shovel-ready projects like playgrounds and $20 million for planning for new schools.

This would be rolled out over four years.

While recently visiting Maryborough, Ms Palaszczuk also announced $600 million to build 20 new Queensland trains as well as committing $1 million to develop a business case to build replacement carriages for long haul services.

Among other commitments, Labor has promised no new or increased taxes and has committed to not selling or leasing assets owned by taxpayers.

The party would also splash $600 million on one of its signature schemes, Works for Queensland, over the next six years, supporting regional councils to undertake maintenance and minor infrastructure projects.

After slamming the LNP's plan to widen the Bruce Highway as a "highway hoax", Labor announced its "second Bruce" project which would upgrade roads between Charters Towers in north Queensland and Mungindi in the south of the state.

This would divert big trucks and freight off the main arterial coastal road.

However 80 per cent of the cash required would need to come from the Federal Government.
