Queenslanders have been shunted in the federal government's spending priorities for a second year running, state Treasurer Jackie Trad says.
Treasurer Josh Frydenberg's first budget revealed the Morrison government would shell out $4 billion on new infrastructure across Queensland, though only a quarter of that will be spent over the forward estimates.
But Ms Trad decried the budget as a bid to shore up support for the Coalition ahead of an imminent election, and said it ignores critical infrastructure needs in a growing state.
"There's only one way to put it - Queensland is missing out," she said.
"What's clear from this budget is that Scott Morrison only has a plan to try and get re-elected not a plan for the future of Queensland."
She says the money that has been pledged is problematic because it won't be spent right away.
"Across the state, they say they're spending $2.6 billion more on infrastructure but a massive $2.3 billion of that is more than four years down the track," she said.
Ms Trad had called for the Morrison government to match federal Labor's $2.4 billion commitment to the state government's flagship Cross River Rail project, but it missed out, along with remote Indigenous housing.
The federal government has previously said it would not contribute funds to the rail development because the state government had said it would foot the bill itself.
