Queenslanders are now twice as likely than NSW residents to be robbed or have their homes broken into – and nearly three times as likely to have their car stolen – according to data released this week by the State Opposition.<\/p>\n

The figures show almost 200,000 Queenslanders became a victim of thefts, robberies and break-ins last year:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 18,195 Queenslanders had their car stolen, up 25 per cent<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • 47,277 Queenslanders had their home or business broken into, up 21.5 per cent<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • 126,394 Queenslanders were victims of theft, up 12.5 per cent<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \u201cQueenslanders feel less safe today than a year ago and most believe the State Government\u2019s laws just aren\u2019t working,\u201d Opposition Leader David Crisafulli said.<\/p>\n

        \u201cWeaker laws and fewer police have created a generation of untouchables who know their rights are greater than the rights of their victims.<\/p>\n

        \u201cUnder the LNP, a Victims\u2019 Commissioner would be appointed to support victims and (the) Queensland Sentencing Advisory Council would include members who are victims of crime.<\/p>\n

        \u201cThe LNP would also provide victims with replacement driver licences and number plates without financial penalty, to help reduce the cost of crime to Queenslanders.\u201d<\/p>\n

        Shadow Police Minister Dale Last said families were worried about where to hide their car keys and how to keep their children safe.<\/p>\n

        \u201cUntil we create consequences for actions, remove detention as a last resort and deliver gold standard early intervention, we won\u2019t break the cycle of crime,\u201d Mr Last said.<\/p>\n
