Brett and Belinda Beasley have turned tragedy into a global campaign for change. Walk 4 Jack on the Gold Coast honours their son who was fatally stabbed on a night out with mates in 2019. Here in Queensland we’ve already made Jack’s Law permanent - giving our frontline police the power to wand and detect knives. Jack’s Law is already making a difference - and not only are other States now looking to Queensland, but countries like the UK are too. It’s all about restoring safety where you live and doing what we promised. @DanPurdieMP @SamOConnorMP

Craig and Adam have been on the ground in Western Queensland. They’re part of our QBuild Disaster Response Crew helping locals get back on their feet after the recent weather event. With roads still flooded, the only way in was by chopper - but they’re determined to get the job done and so are we. We’ll be there every step of the way as Western Queensland recovers from these floods.
