The LNP will win, and then they'll allow 6 year olds to be tried as adults and will apparently improve the functioning of government by sacking half the public servants. I don't believe they've learned anything from the Newman days when that circus clown Jarrod Bleijie is still Deputy Leader.

20 % swing in the Northern Territory. NT has a youth crime problem similar to QLD.

Good on Miles for calling this out.

Television news ‘addicted to CCTV footage of crime’, Queensland premier Steven Miles says

Premier says government’s work on youth intervention is hard to publicise amid media focus on crime and punishment

lol only because it suits him if the problems are hidden.

Can you explain how a reduction in youth crime is a problem?

Lies, damn lies and statistics.

Maybe the bad youths turned 18, making them adults?

Maybe Qld public had no confidence in policing so not reporting crime.

Because when you look at the stats, non violent crime has reduced but violent crime continues to grow. People also have no confidencthat the QLD government will keep the hundreds of extra police currently in hotspots suppressing crime rates there let alone continue to increase police patrols.

All Offences (adult and juvenile) excluding DFV offending

For the reporting period 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024 compared to 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023:

The total offences rate decreased by 1.9%

The rate of offences against the person increased by 2.4%

The rate of offences against property decreased by 2.2%

The rate of other offences decreased by 2.5%

I can see the correlation. More police equals more crime.

Perception is reality in politics, and the Queensland media have been pushing the youth crime wave angle daily for more than a year now. It doesn't matter what the facts are, Miles has to address the issue or get punished at the polls.

I think the Qld State ALP has been pretty good all things considered.

However, federally the alp is on the nose up here in Qld. Lots of people are hurting due to the housing/rental crisis.

They are, but they're also deluded if they think the LNP is going to make it any better. The politicians in both major parties have property portfolios they want to maintain the value of, and they're all good friends with property developers even if they can't directly receive donations from them anymore.

We might be bad but the other guy will be worst. It's not a successful campaign slogan.

So housing prices to the moon and beyond?

You betcha! The bubble will keep inflating so long as there is demand for it. And demand will keep increasing so long as there is preferential tax treatment for landlords, and high levels of immigration. Supply won't catch up without a huge government home building program (and I mean government directly building homes, not the HAFF which is the government trying to pass the buck to community housing organisations).
