Prime Minister Scott Morrison is poised to relax visa rules for foreign farm workers as he tries to shore up support in a swag of key Queensland marginal seats.
Mr Morrison will visit the Gold Coast on Monday as he kicks off a road trip throughout the Sunshine State, announcing federal funding for the city's light rail network.
The prime minister fired the stater's gun on his Queensland campaign on Sunday, announcing a multimillion dollar pipeline to secure Townsville's water supply.
But his trip got off to a rocky start, with senior Queensland Liberal Steve Ciobo refusing to say whether the federal government's stocks would improve under Mr Morrison's leadership.
"I don't think it serves anyone's purpose and I also don't think, frankly, that Queenslanders or indeed Australians more generally care about what's happened," Mr Ciobo told Sky News.
