    It's been a big news week with the election campaign coming to a climax as polls suggest the election is all but over with Labor to triumph. Peter Dutton’s office was defaced yet again, Magic Round has got underway with the Maroons loosing Game One of Women's Origin and it's been four decades since Expo 88. Courier Mail Editor Chris Jones told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, " I think the biggest change, as we saw in Canada this week with their election, is that ironically, Donald Trump has hurt the Conservative vote all around the world. These are now uncertain times and at uncertain times, you tend to see electorates stick with the incumbent, stick with what you know and I think that's what we're heading for here," Jones said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    It is Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month, and the state government is tabling new laws to allow police to issue on-the-spot 12-month protection directions. QPS Acting Police Commissioner Shane Chelpy told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "I'm really pleased to see those laws go into parliament this week." "The use of a police protection direction will see that close to two thirds of the domestic and family violence offences that we turn up to now will be able to issue an immediate police protection direction to give that victim-survivor protection right there on the spot for 12 months." "We know that a domestic and family violence current order takes four to five hours for a police officer to take out." "We're expecting these to be under an hour, but the most important thing is it'll free up that police time, which will allow the police to focus on our victim survivors," Acting Commissioner Chelepy said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
