Truss repeated Labor lies: Newman The Queensland premier says he's unhappy with Warren Truss (pic) because he repeated Labor lies. THE Queensland premier says party supporters "gasped" when coalition colleague Warren Truss repeated Labor lies about health funding cuts. Campbell Newman has admitted he was unhappy with a joke Mr Truss made at a recent Liberal National Party dinner. Mr Truss was on stage, addressing LNP supporters, when he joked that the electorate's mood towards the Coalition was positive "unless it's the day after Newman has closed a hospital." Mr Newman on Tuesday said there was no way he was going to let Mr Truss's comments stand. It was incorrect. He was making the assertion we close hospitals. We haven't closed any hospitals. See, that's the Labor party line," the premier told ABC radio. The only cut to Queensland Health's budget has been by the Australian Labor Party - $103 million needs to be restored by Kevin Rudd or Tony Abbott if he becomes the prime minister in this current financial year. He also said the Newman government had increased, not cut, the Queensland Health budget. The premier said LNP supporters at the dinner understood the nature of Mr Truss's joke. "The reason I has not happy with Mr Truss's comments was because they were repeating the falsehoods and one shouldn't do that," he said. There was an audible gasp across the room of the 600 people who were there. They all got it. And they know that it's not true that's why the gasped. He denied leaving the event in a huff over the joke. I can assure people I'm not into throwing tantrums and I left when I was scheduled to leave.
