We’re delivering stronger protections for children following Labor’s decade of decline.

BREAKING: We’ve now stopped 543 people having Blue Cards to make children safer

It means these individuals have been prevented working with children across multiple sectors - including disability services, health, counselling and support services, sport, active recreation, gyms and play facilities.

Of these nearly 550 people - 269 Blue Card holders have been prevented from commencing child-related work and 274 card holders can no longer work with children. They’ve been suspended under strengthened new powers which we commenced late last year.

Steven Miles is putting terrorists and criminals before Queenslanders and has just voted against our antisemitism laws.

While a desperate Steven Miles lies to Queenslanders, we’re focused on delivering nation-leading reforms to combat anti-semitism.

Today we announced we’re introducing 12 new Adult Crime Adult Time offences to make Queensland safer.

BREAKING: We’re bringing the next expansion of Adult Crime, Adult Time to Parliament this week.

Operation Forge kicks off today. It’s a high-visibility, statewide police operation that will target the big three crime categories that skyrocketed under Labor: stolen cars, break-ins and robberies.

Under Adult Crime, Adult Time, victim numbers are already falling. That’s what happens when you restore consequences for actions. We’ll keep strengthening our youth crime laws and prioritising victims every step of the way.

Victim numbers are down in QLD after rising 193% under Labor - but Steven Miles still can’t decide whether he supports Adult Crime, Adult Time. Queenslanders deserve an answer from Labor, not more chaos and confusion.

Steven Miles and Labor need to stop dodging the question: will they or won’t they support Adult Crime Adult Time to keep our communities safe?

Queenslanders deserve a straight answer from Steven Miles: will Labor back Adult Crime, Adult Time to keep people safe - or will they stand in the way?

We’re delivering more of the infrastructure needed to unlock new homes for Queenslanders.

It’s all part of the fresh start we promised, delivering a place to call home for more Queenslanders.

Our landmark $2 billion Residential Activation Fund is back for another round to fund the essential infrastructure like roads, sewerage, water and power needed for new homes.

98,000 new homes have already been unlocked across Queensland after Labor’s decade of decline.

Our strong new youth bail electronic monitoring laws allow GPS trackers to be placed on youth offenders aged 10-17.

UPDATE: We're making Queensland safer with tough youth bail monitoring laws.

During their decade of decline Labor weakened youth crime laws and created a generation of serious youth offenders.
