… where credit’s due!

Well! My goodness me! Haven’t the state’s coppers totally lifted their game since state election night back on October 26?

After years of being totally incapable of doing anything to curb crime – especially juvenile crime – that had put the state’s citizens in abject fear as reported constantly by our mainstream media, our brave blue line has absolutely smashing crime across the state! And clearly not so thin any more!

It’s obvious their motivation and work ethic have rebounded mightily since that night when the LNP’s David Crisafulli became premier-elect. The new Premier apparently even hasn’t had to say anything let alone put a rocket under our people in uniform. Our police instinctively knew it was time to up their game big time!

And why do I know this? Because Nine News Queensland told me so the other night. As you can see from this online promo for that bulletin (above and below), crime has been smashed across the state!

Our new Premier has been remarkable quiet about this amazing turnaround – and good on him for his modesty! – so we had to rely on Nine’s reporter Bailey Kenzie to spread the great news!

He told us about the specialist police unit that was smashing not just “high crime suburbs”, mind, but “taking our state’s most serious offenders off the streets”.

Thank you, the Queensland police force! Thank you Premier!

And thank goodness our Premier won’t have to follow through with his promise to resign if crime numbers don’t decrease because they clearly have already!!!!

But, hold on. Wait. It transpires that this special police activity – Operation Whiskey Legion – was mainly about cracking down on people carrying knives in …. wait for it, once more – the South Brisbane district.

Let’s just all thank our own political gods that the coppers picked the one area of Queensland chockablock with “the state’s most serious offenders”.

One serious criminal exposed in Kenzie’s report was a bloke who appeared to be a tourist who was about to go camping and who didn’t know it was illegal to have a knife in his possession. Luckily he is now off the streets, which is a boon to locals who have also seen their property values rise now that the state’s most serious offenders are languishing in jail!

And well done, Nine News Queensland, for bringing us this news. This is the news service, mind, that for many, many, months ran every piece of video they could find of youths breaking into homes and stealing cars. Over and over again. The news bulletin that totally ignored, or gave scant regard to, police numbers showing that general and youth crime were declining. The news bulletin that regularly repeated Voice for Victims claims that the state governments of Palaszczuk and Miles had done absolutely nothing to combat crime.

And now, just weeks into the new LNP government, crime is being smashed throughout Queensland and the state’s most serious offenders are off the streets, hopefully doing double adult time for adult crime! Hallelujah! We can all now safely head out our front doors!

You want to know what really gives your ranter-in-residence the absolute shits? That there are supposed journalists at Nine News Queensland who sprout and write this gobsmacking, head-shaking, goddamn awful bullshit without the slightest hint of a blush.
