Labor will establish 12 publicly-owned fuel stations if re-elected in October, with the sites to be determined by where competition is most needed across the state.

In his state of the state address on Tuesday, Mr Miles will also announce Labor's plan to ban petrol stations from raising the price of fuel more than once a day and a trial to cap price increases to 5 cents a litre a day.

Australasian Convenience and Petroleum Marketers Association chief executive Mark McKenzie told ABC Radio Brisbane it was unclear if Labor had the ability to implement the plan.

government owned services are great, till the Liberals get in and sell them to private enterprises to make the budget look better.. Imagine if we still had government owned banks, insurance, utilities etc
