It hasn't been evident in the Media but if you didn't live in Queensland you would be unaware that there is one matter front and centre that bodes ill for the ALP at the next election.

Crime.

Prior to the last election this was a big problem with crime but the ALP got back in as they were riding the post Covid wave and also the memory of the LNP and Campbell Newman's squandering of an enviable majority. This time it will be different as the problem has changed for the worse. The perpetrators here in the North come muchly from a small number of Indigenous families and their White mates who due to their age can offend, see court and re-offend within one 24 hour period. About Brisbane it is White, Indigenous, African and Maori/SSea Islander. I should remark their individual communities are as sick of them if not more so than the majority population. So the deterioration is now :

Violent Crime : Knife Crime : Bashing Crime : Home Invasion : Feelings of Hopelessness as to it's rectification and Real Fear on Opening One's Door at .night.

So the problem is not on a spreadsheet but right there front and centre.

Palashay ( my apologies to my Polish speaking friends ) is not liked, there is some misogyny attached, JHowever unfortunately for the ALP she is perceived as she is, just riding her small wave, and failing on crime before relocating to Sydney for the Olympics.

Having written it all down, I must admit I would be quite surprised if the ALP would not suffer a wipeout. I believe the reason people outside Queensland are not aware of it is because of the demographic of the perpetrators, particularly their youth, and the lack of a proper media in Australia to report on it and hold truth to power.
