John MacKenzie chats with Dale Last, Shadow Minister for Police and Corrective Services, about the ongoing crime emergency after incidents of courtroom brawls and police being chased by offenders. A fight erupted in a courtroom between relatives of the victims and defendant, during the hearing of a teenager who was allegedly driving the vehicle that killed 14 year old Bradley Smith. Earlier this week, in Townsville, three stolen vehicles attempted to run a marked police car of the road by performing tactical manourvers.

The crime crisis continues in Far North Queensland while communities desperately look toward the Queensland Government for support.

Shadow Minister Last agreed with the sentiment of Cr. Bensted that it is the role of all community leaders to come together and speak out against the exacerbating crime crisis. Cairns and Mareeba now have more per capita car thefts than Brisbane City.

John MacKenzie chats with Dale Last, Shadow Minister for Police and Corrective Services, LNP State Member for Burdekin, about the crime crisis in Cairns' after the Chamber of Commerce held a meeting to address concerns. Community stakeholders' suggestions are shut down by authorities who assure the rights of criminals are of most concern. Strange claims, such as the Police not being able to pursue criminals on foot in case the offender induces a heart attack, are being made. However, the mental health impact of victims is seldom addressed by politicians who prefer to point to international law that trumps our own sovereignty.

John MacKenzie chats with Dale Last, Shadow Minister for Police and Corrective Services & LNP State Member for Burdekin, about the Queensland state government's budget in relation to funding for policing. $3 Billion has been allocated and new officers promised by the Palaszczuk government.

The community demands justice.

Today I spoke with Dale Last, Member for Burdekin and Shadow Minister for Police & Corrective Services, about the brazen nature of some recent criminal attacks, in particular the ramming of Police vehicles in Townsville. 

— “If the Universe, the planet, life, you and every product of the process of creation is miraculous beyond comprehension, then what does that make the very process itself? Can you create a process of creation, and what is there to know about it beyond you? Then, you'll notice that your perception of the process of creation is that the process itself is miraculous beyond comprehension.” It encourages the process to flourish (or loves the creation) just because it exists, not for what it does, achieves or doesn't. It just encourages the process to flourish (loves the process itself) whatever happens.” Valeria Teles interviews David ‘Bhakti' Gotlieb — the author of “Healing Inner Conflict: The Purpose Behind Behaviours We Regret And What To Do About It.” David ‘Bhakti' Gotlieb brings a lifetime of experience to his counselling, supervision and professional development workshops.

A prison governor becomes good mates with a former inmate and even gives a speech at his wedding. In the fourth episode of Behind the Walls: Rehabilitation, crime author and former journalist Michael Duffy talks to former inmate Damian Cuff about the friendship he has formed with Governor Mark Kennedy. Damian spent 19 years in-and-out of prison for a range of crimes including armed robbery, kidnapping and drug use.  “Normally blokes get out and they go back to the same area, the same people that they always hung with and got in trouble with,” Damian says. “I was given an opportunity before I got out here. I did works release and I still work for that company now - they offered me a position if I was willing to stay in Bathurst and what better opportunity than to start fresh. “I'm still mates with Kenno (Mark) because Kenno, he knew about me, but he didn't want to make me feel like I was a criminal, or I was different. I was just one of the boys playing football.” Behind the Walls is produced by Corrective Services NSW, part of the Department of Communities and Justice.

If you treat inmates like animals, they'll act like animals. What happens when they get out of jail? Would you want them living in your suburb? In the third episode of Behind the Walls: Daily Life, crime author and former journalist Michael Duffy learns how inmates – and staff – spend a typical day at prisons including Cessnock, Dawn de Loas and Bathurst correctional centres. Macquarie Correctional Centre prison officer Liz Sears tells Michael: “Essentially our job as a prison officer is to make our community safer, and in order to do that we need to give these inmates as much chance as possible to re-enter society and be safe, because they will be living next door to us. “We are not giving them any more than what they deserve or any more than anyone else on the outside deserves, we are just giving our community as a whole, the chance to be safe.” Behind the Walls is produced by Corrective Services NSW, part of the Department of Communities and Justice.

Would you believe that some inmates actually ask to be sent to Australia's toughest and most regimented prison, Supermax?  In the second episode of Behind the Walls: Security, crime author and former journalist Michael Duffy learns about prison-yard hierarchies and how to stop inmates from attacking each other. “There's no doubt that security is the core function of a prison, but security means much more than just locking people up and watching them from towers so they don't escape,” Michael says.  “It means keeping inmates from attacking each other, or rioting, or attacking our officers or prison property.  “That means our officers need to know what's going on among the inmate population. To do that, they have to walk among the inmates, talk to them, gather and respond to intelligence.”Behind the Walls is produced by Corrective Services NSW, part of the Department of Communities and Justice.
