Two years ago the Palaszczuk government went to Queenslanders with a plan—a plan for a better way—a plan to protect the community and, importantly, to listen to community concerns. Our priority was to create jobs, restore front-line services, build infrastructure and keep Queenslanders safe. That is why we have delivered more than 500 additional front-line police, firefighters, prison officers and probation and parole staff—more than ever before—to meet our commitment to Queenslanders.
We recognise that the men and women at the front line of policing and emergency services need to be equipped with the best resources to do what they do best. That is why we have started a rollout of body worn video cameras and QLiTE iPads to our front-line police. We have passed Australia’s toughest, strongest, most comprehensive laws to tackle organised crime in all its forms, be it outlaw motorcycle gangs, child sex exploitation networks, fraud and boiler room scams. Over the past two months, Taskforce Maxima has made 133 arrests and laid 320 charges.
