The number of Sunshine Coast residents becoming victims of physical crime has surged by 226% since the Palaszczuk-Miles Government came to power in 2015, according to shocking new analysis of Queensland Police Service statistics.
The bombshell findings revealed victims of offences increased from 830 to 2709 between the financial year 2015-16 to 2023-24 on the Sunshine Coast.
Shockingly, these figures don’t even include offences such as break-ins and stolen cars, as the State Labor Government does not release victim numbers for property offences, despite the fact these traumatic offences have long lasting effects on their victims.
The statistics clearly prove Labor has failed communities for a decade.
Queensland sadly is the crime capital of the country because of Labor’s watered-down laws.
The LNP’s plan will restore safety where you live with Adult Crime, Adult Time (if you choose to do the crime – you will do the time), as well as gold standard early intervention and proper rehabilitation.
Queenslanders should not be living in fear.
