The Crime Rate is a major worry to Queensland Families.

Juvenile Crime Crisis

Did you realise that as a result of the YOUTH CRIME CRISIS, Queenslanders are more likely to become crime victims than New South Wales. Queenslanders are statistically twice as likely to be robbed, twice as likely to cop break-ins, compared to NSW. Shocking new ABS data reveals Queenslanders are more likely to be crime victims than any other Australians, with the number of robbery, theft, break-in and stolen car victims growing by 16% in just one year. Alarmingly, Queenslanders are now twice as likely than residents in New South Wales to be robbed or have their homes broken into and nearly three times as likely to have their car stolen.

The figures show close to 200,000 Queenslanders became victims of thefts, robberies and break-ins last year, with the true impact of the Palaszczuk Government’s weak laws and fewer police laid bare.

Surveys show that “Queenslanders feel less safe today than a year ago and most believe the State Government’s laws just aren’t working. Families are worried about where to hide their car keys and how they can keep their children safe because crime is spiralling out of control.”

Drug related suspensions from schools

Parents will be shocked to learn the number of Primary School Students suspended for substance misconduct including vaping and drug use has exploded by shocking 800% in two years.

Secret report into Olympic Games Delivery

Budget Estimates has revealed Queenslanders paid $43,795 for every one of the 18 pages of the external consultant report to justify dumping an Independent Infrastructure Delivery Authority for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, but won’t let Queenslanders see it.

In just a few months, Australians will head to the polls to vote YES or NO on Labor’s Voice proposal.

As you know, I’m fighting for a better way forward for Indigenous Australians – by voting NO to Labor’s Canberra-based Voice and by saying YES to chart a course of constitutional recognition and genuinely closing the gap.

I know that many of you share my view that Labor’s Voice will divide our nation. It is legally risky with unknown consequences. And it is a permanent change to the function of our democracy.

Despite months and months of asking, the Government won’t provide any of the key details. No answers. Why?

While the media tells us that support for the YES campaign is in free fall, I want to remind you that we cannot put any stock in polls.

The only poll that matters is determined at the voting booth. This is a very important decision. It is the most consequential vote in a generation. This Voice will not unite us, it will divide us.” Said Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price. It won’t close the gap for Indigenous peoples and we don’t need more politicians or bureaucrats, but that is what we will get..

It won’t be decided by any politician, company, or celebrity. It will be decided by YOU, by YOUR community, and by every Australian.
