Explosive new crime data has revealed a mammoth rise in stolen cars across Toowoomba since Labor came to power in 2015, in another sign Labor’s soft laws are responsible for the Youth Crime Crisis.
New Queensland Police Service (QPS) statistics reveal 549 cars were stolen in Toowoomba in the 12 months to September 2024.
Since Labor came to power in 2015, the number of stolen cars has soared by 152% in Toowoomba.
Shadow Minister for Police and Community Safety Dan Purdie said nothing will change unless the government changes.
“Time’s up for Labor’s decade of failures,” Mr Purdie said.
“The only way to end Labor’s Youth Crime Crisis is by changing the government.
“Labor’s failure in education, weakening of youth justice laws and failure to deliver gold standard early intervention has left Queensland with a generation of hardcore repeat offenders.
“Only by preventing, intervening, diverting, rehabilitating, and protecting can we end Labor’s Youth Crime Crisis and restore safety where you live.
“While Labor MPs think the youth crime crisis doesn’t exist, the LNP has been listening to Queenslanders.
“Queenslanders have been held hostage by Labor’s Youth Crime Crisis, but the LNP is committed to making our community safer with Adult Crime, Adult Time, and gold standard early intervention. “We must restore discipline and consequences for actions to turn the tide on Labor’s Youth Crime Crisis.
“If an LNP government is elected, the Making Queensland Safer Laws will be laws by the end of the year.
“Labor is desperate to hold onto power, but unless we change the government, we’ll continue to get more of the same under Labor.
“This is the opportunity for a Fresh Start with the LNP’s Right Plan for Queensland’s Future.”
