📰 The Courier Mail's Editor has seen enough too.

Yesterday we told you about Brian Currie. Stabbed two police officers with a syringe, one in the neck at Redcliffe Watch House.

Violently assaulted three officers in total. Sentenced to 3.5 years against a maximum of 14. Eligible for parole before he even begins serving time for attacking our officers.

Today, the Courier Mail editorial called it out directly. Police officers deserve to be protected by legislation that acts as a proper deterrent against those who want to harm them on the job.

We’ve been saying this for years. Now Queensland’s largest newspaper is saying it too.

Western Australia introduced mandatory sentencing for assaults on police in 2009. Assaults dropped by more than a third in the four years that followed. The evidence is not in dispute.

The Crisafulli Government prides itself on being tough on crime. The Courier Mail says our call for mandatory minimum sentences is “worthy of further investigation.”

I'd go further than that. It’s worthy of urgent action.

People like Brian Currie and Liam Sing is exactly why. Our officers go to work expecting they might be assaulted. What they should also be able to expect is that the justice system has their back. Right now, it doesn’t.

Queenslanders deserve better. Our officers deserve better.

Yesterday, the community came together to witness the unveiling of a statue honouring Victoria Cross recipient Private Richard Norden VC — a lasting tribute to an extraordinary Australian whose courage and service extended far beyond the battlefield.

During the Battle of Coral/Balmoral in Vietnam in 1968, Private Norden displayed incredible bravery under intense enemy fire, repeatedly risking his own life to rescue wounded comrades. His actions would later see him posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross, Australia’s highest military honour.

Following his military service, Richard Norden continued his commitment to protecting the community through a career as a police officer, dedicating his life to service both in uniform overseas and here at home.

Yesterday’s unveiling was a powerful reminder of sacrifice, courage, and duty — and of a man whose legacy continues to inspire generations of Australians.

💙 We will remember
