A FEDERAL Government decision to award a contract to build submarines for Australia's defence force has met with criticism from many.

Now, One Nation candidate for Capricornia Keren Armstrong has joined the chorus of voices attacking the decision, highlighting the Great Keppel Island proposed development as an example of a project the Federal Government should support as it would create more jobs in the country.

Ms Armstrong said the $50 billion submarine project would create 2800 jobs in South Australia as part of the consortium of companies which successful in their bid under the French main company.

"For every $2 million dollars of private investment on Great Keppel Island, 1 job is created. Yet the Governments submarine project hires just 1 person per $18 million dollars," she said.

Pauline Hanson and her One Nation Party have long supported Tower Holdings efforts to secure a casino license in order to attract international funding.

"Other states desperately rely on Government funding to create jobs, yet we have private enterprise offering to create a minimum of 1500 jobs and the door is slammed in their face time and time again," Ms Armstrong said.

"Party politics must be put to one side when it comes to job creation in the region, instead we must have a collaborative approach from all three levels of Government.

"I'm happy to be the first candidate in the region to say, I will work with any member of council or state government, in order to create new jobs for Central Queensland."
