Minister Laura Gerber denies for the Crisafulli government that it cut $3m in funding from the Youth Advocacy Centre as payback for criticism. The service provides counselling, medical assessments, housing, food, clothing & family therapy. #qldpol

Queensland has peaked at 5,000 triple zero calls in one day. The state is to have its ambulance service independently reviewed by "someone from New South Wales", Health Minister Tim Nicholls has told parliament. #qldpol

As the Australian parliament was working on taking the heat out of political debate, in Queensland Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie was at his horrible best doing the opposite. Speaker Pat Weir had earlier called for more respect in the chamber after the Helen Haines attack. #qldpol

#StevenMiles : #AmandaStoker said #abortion shouldn't be available even for women who have been raped, she said sexuality was a choice. Now #DavidCrisafulli has appointed her the LNP's minister responsible for #LGBQTIA+ policy, the prevention of domestic & family violence, and child safety #AUSPOL

Getting LNP’d. Queensland's Youth Advocacy Centre has been critical of both Labor & LNP governments. It spoke recently against Premier David Crisafulli's youth crime slogan legislation. Now its $3M in funding has been cut. #qldpol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Queensland Premier David Crisafulli now 2yrs in office & he's got his new bail crime slogan set to pass this week. A new report shows 19 lives were lost to DV last financial year & the Crisafulli government has failed to implement 4 key inquiry recommendations. #qldpol

"It's an opportunity for the strongest laws for drive-by shooting that were passed by the parliament earlier this year to be put to the test." Fitzys Loganholme drive-by still under investigation as Queensland Premier David Crisafulli continues to self-promote as a strong legislator. #qldpol

"Good people should be able to have weapons, bad people should have none." Premier David Crisafulli won't enrol Queensland in the national gun buyback. This year 250 guns were stolen Jan-Aug; mainly from Wide Bay–Burnett & Darling Downs where most registered firearms owners reside. #qldpol

Tokenism. Let’s call it what it is, violence against women. Yes, I’m aware of violence from women against women and gay men against gay men. But let’s not get distracted by that. Violence never solves things. #QldPol

We condemn the political threats made by Opposition Leader Jess Wilson on Sunday and reject her misleading connection between protest of Israel’s genocide and the horrific Bondi attack. Protesting a livestreamed genocide is not antisemitic. Our release: www.jewishcouncil.com.au/2026/10/jewi...

Jess Wilson is a first term politician who wants to be premier and the media soft soaps her all the time. No-one has asked a question starting with...Jess in your experience..

Victorian Opposition Leader Jess Wilson wants to follow Queensland Premier David Crisafulli into speech criminalisation but she may end up following him into the High Court. (ABC, there's no "Liberal government" in Qld. It's the Liberal National Party). #springst www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

abc.net.auVictorian Liberals to ban 'globalise the intifada' chant if electedOpposition Leader Jess Wilson says the phrase will be outlawed under incitement to violence laws if her party wins government.

What Queensland Premier David Crisafulli actually said is he won't have to form a coalition with Pauline Hanson because Queenslanders will return his government. That doesn't rule out preference order on HTV cards. He's also a great reneger. #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

Not much more to report on the Fitzys Loganholme drive-by. As Queensland Premier David Crisafulli boasts about being the strongest Australian legislator, criminologist Terry Goldsworthy warns the government is relying on slogans while weapons offences are skyrocketing. #qldpol

David Crisafulli's youth crime slogan hasn't solved the problem in Queensland yet; he's had 3 legislative goes at it. He repeatedly says in interviews there's a long way to go. He's got another bail based one this week. Next it'll be a mandatory sentencing based slogan. #qldpol

He’s can go further right than PHON. Anti-Unions, anti-free speech, abortion illegal, vilify homelessness, eradicate equal opportunity, data centres everywhere and indigenous voices nowhere. He can do that with no checks. Now. He’d arrest more kids but there’s too many bodies piling up #qldpol

Queensland Premier David Crisafulli ignored advocate advice to split Amanda Stoker's massive portfolio fearing she'll hit the same workload issues as Amanda Camm. Separately, Stoker avoided answering if she'd push for the return of abortion criminalisation in Qld. #qldpol

The recent Queensland child safety inquiry found no adoptions from state care since 2019. Premier David Crisafulli now has that in his head as a target for new Minister Amanda Stoker for the 2028 election. However, there's a whole rebuild of the system required. #qldpol

"We are not going to the next election without kids being adopted out of residential care." Wedged between arch-conservatives, Queensland Premier David Crisafulli made the pledge for new minister, Amanda Stoker. He also added more kids out of residential into foster care. #qldpol
