SA Police Commissioner Grant Stevens APM has devoted his working life to serving and protecting South Australians.

Grant has led with integrity, sound judgment and an unwavering sense of duty, earning the trust of our community through some of the most challenging periods in our state’s history.

He understands South Australia and its people.

From frontline policing to leading our response to major emergencies, and through his work helping young people find a better path, his service has always been grounded in a commitment to others.

That commitment extends well beyond policing - through Operation Flinders, his support for cancer research, prevention and treatment, and his advocacy for organ donation.

Today, I announced that His Majesty King Charles III has approved my recommendation to appoint Commissioner Stevens as our state’s 37th Governor.

I have every confidence Grant will be an outstanding Governor. His ability to connect with people, his steady leadership and his understanding of our community will serve South Australia exceptionally well.

With Emma by his side, I know they will embrace this opportunity to serve and make an exceptional contribution to our state.

Congratulations Grant – we look forward to the swearing-in on 9 December.

Today we pause to remember and honour the police officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty.

On National Police Remembrance Day, we recognise their courage, dedication and sacrifice, and extend our thoughts to their families, friends, colleagues and communities who continue to carry their memory.

We also acknowledge the serving police officers who continue to protect and serve our communities every day.

It is with profound sadness that we honour Constable Mia Lay, who tragically lost her life in the line of duty at Redfern, NSW, this morning.

Our deepest condolences are with Constable Lay’s family, loved ones, colleagues and friends during this devastating time.

Today is a deeply solemn day for the NSW Police Force members, and indeed for the entire policing family, as we come together to mourn the loss of a wonderful young lady.

May Constable Lay rest in peace. Her service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

As the sun surely sets,
Dawn will see it arise,
For service above self
Demands its own prize.

You have fought the good fight,
Life’s race has been run,
And peace your reward,
For eternity begun.

And we that are left
Shall never forget,
Rest in peace friend and colleague,
For the sun has now set.
We will remember.

Hasten the dawn

The Queensland Police Union joins serving and retired police across our state in mourning the passing of former Police Commissioner Steve Gollschewski.

Steve dedicated his life to policing and serving the Queensland community, rising through the ranks to lead the organisation he had given so much to.

Today, rank and titles take a back seat. We remember a fellow police officer and extend our deepest sympathy to Steve’s wife, family, friends and colleagues.

Rest in peace, Mr Gollschewski. Your service is done.

"Police Have Our Backs. It's Time We Had Theirs."

Police officers put themselves on the line every day to keep our communities safe. It's only fair that they receive the same Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) concessions already available to ambulance and hospital workers.

The WA Liberals are calling on the Albanese Labor Government to extend these concessions to police officers, providing a practical way to increase their take-home pay and recognise the vital work they do in protecting our communities.

Please sign the petition and share this post to help spread the message.

Together, we can show our police officers that their service is valued—not just in words, but through meaningful action.
