Queensland Treasurer David Janetzki asked to explain the $40m budget cut to Justice Margaret McMurdo's domestic violence taskforce recommendations. Premier David Crisafulli went to Toowoomba to announce the latest property developer projects. #qldpol
Another Queensland suspected DV woman's death at Blackwater, 2 school stabbings & cuts to DV prevention. All smiles & selfies for the Crisafulli government who went to Toowoomba to announce the latest property developer projects just days after a DV victim's body was recovered from the area. #qldpol
Seemingly undeterred by Queensland Premier David Crisafulli's youth crime slogans, two separate school stabbings in 24 hours. The first in Cairns followed by Brisbane but it's a hands-off approach from Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek. #qldpol
The Crisafulli government has cut off the funding to Queensland Housing Connect which assists DV victims into emergency accommodation. Premier David Crisafulli is standing by Minister Amanda Camm in her child safety & domestic violence prevention portfolios. #qldpol
Queensland Minister Amanda Camm was supposed to follow through on the Women's Safety and Justice Taskforce but there's been no reporting from her as required. The supervisory role was scrapped last year & now $40m has been cut from DV prevention programs. #qldpol
David Crisafulli was such a small-target Queensland opposition leader that he became a small-target premier. He only had four issues heading into the 2024 election & the DV inquiry implementation for women wasn't one of them. Now everything is crumbling around him. #qldpol
The Crisafulli government scrapped the supervisory role for the Justice Margaret McMurdo led women's safety taskforce in Feb 2025. They've now defunded the domestic violence prevention programs. Minister Amanda Camm has failed to report progress of the inquiry. #qldpol
Poor e-mobility behaviour is still occurring in Queensland in the days after new laws came into effect on 1 July. The next tranche of changes is due 31 August. #qldpol
As is required by her charter, Queensland Minister Amanda Camm has failed to provide progress on the Justice Margaret McMurdo led women's safety taskforce recommendations 2021-22. The Crisafulli govt has now cut $40 million from the domestic violence services budget. #qldpol
Queensland Minister Amanda Camm finally faced the media today after the $35.5 million Crisafulli government budget cuts to domestic violence prevention services became public. There has been no public updates on the progress of the DV inquiry since the LNP took government. #qldpol
Queensland Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie claims the $38.5 million budget cut to domestic & family violence prevention services is just the winding up of a taskforce. #qldpol
Ch10 Australia sees it. Pauline Hanson is traveling in a vehicle in the UK without a seatbelt. UK Police should investigate this matter. Australians follow & respect the laws of the countries they visit. There cannot be exceptions made for Australian politicians. #auspol
Just digging around here in my south-east Queensland garden when I noticed this kumera sweet potato monster in the ground. Probably about 2 years old. I wouldn't normally let them get this big but it looks ok. The interior is relatively soft so making up some chips for the family.
Brisbane, we warned you not to trust David Crisafulli & Jarrod Bleijie. The Crisafulli government has grabbed Barrambin & now they've taken Centenary Pool. We don't know if this land will ever be returned to the public. #qldpol
Ch9 has located the Telstra culprit. It was a woman! Witchcraft! Why did we ever let them out of the kitchen to vote!? Total BS. The problem was in the timsync servers. So what we do now is listen to the technicians & build a better, resilient system. #auspol
Energy from waste in Queensland. If two of Campbell Newman's most notorious ministers are involved in this then more scrutiny is needed here. #qldpol
Latest from Queensland Supreme Court on the actions of the 13yo who is alleged to have planned a terrorist attack on a school in Maryborough. No youth crime questions put to David Crisafulli. Can you imagine the reaction from media if this had happened under a Qld Labor govt? #qldpol
No need for Senator Sarah Henderson or anyone else to "test" the triple zero system. It was a timesync issue & Telstra technicians would have been well aware of the impact across the network. How we build a more robust system? That's the question. Speak to the workers. #auspol
Queensland Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie jumps on the hook. Despite what many Australians are told, Queensland has a very strong history of resistance alongside Victorians. The Eureka flag from 1854 was raised during the 1891 Queensland Shearers' Strike. #qldpol
Big reduction time claims by Queensland Health Minister Tim Nicholls on ramping and emergency patients waiting longer than 24hrs. (OL Steven Miles was shown as if he was going to speak on the hospital construction delays for the Olympics but Ch9 cut away). #qldpol
Queensland's unions unite against the Crisafulli government saying Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie's draft building code is a lawyer's picnic served up from the Newman era. #qldpol
"He's a little bit deranged, to be frank." Queensland's unions have had enough of the Crisafulli government & have set their sights on Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie. #qldpol
Here we go again with Paradise Dam, Bundaberg. Queensland Premier David Crisafulli is ignoring advice from Sunwater against the $4.4bn project who labelled his plan "grossly disproportionate". He's insisting on rebuilding the entire dam wall. #qldpol
Women are still not being listen to when they report menacing behaviour or harassment to Queensland police. After her Instagram post, police have now taken Kate's statement. Emphasis needs to be on the men who are behaving in this way. #qldpol
The auditor-general has reported Queensland's prison population has risen 54% over 10 years from 7318 to 11278 with all facilities at or over capacity. Recidivism is almost 50% within 2yrs. Youth Justice Minister Laura Gerber blames Labor & intends incarcerating more. #qldpol
Queensland Housing Minister Sam O'Connor announces funding for Brisbane based Emmanuel City Mission to go from 1 night homing 30 people to 7 nights of 110. However, with Jarrod Bleijie scrapping affordable housing requirements there's little else for homeless state-wide. #qldpol
All together now, youth crime slogan. The Crisafulli government continues to deny there are capacity issues in Queensland's youth detention system contradicting another leak which details the crisis. Former Hawke-Keating Minister Robert Tickner condemns the mandatory minimum sentence plan. #qldpol
No exceptions & no apologies from Queensland Child Safety Minister Amanda Camm on forced removal of children from residential care. Some children are appealing the decision. #qldpol
6 teens from Kingaroy & Cherbourg do not appear to have been deterred by Queensland Premier David Crisafulli's youth crime slogans. Now charged over 3 stolen vehicles & desecration of a cemetery. Elders address the community. #qldpol
"A new rhyme to fix crime." Queensland Premier David Crisafulli & Youth Justice Minister Laura Gerber insist the state has enough capacity to incarcerate more children if they breach bail. Criminologists warn the youth detention system leads to greater problems. #qldpol
