Queensland's opposition claims a new analysis of crime statistics shows there has been a 193 per cent increase in the victims of physical crime since the Palaszczuk-Miles Government came to power in 2015.
Analysis of crime statistics by the Queensland opposition claims to show a massive increase in victims of assault, sexual offences and robbery since 2015, cementing the state's reputation as the nation's"crime capital." Queensland 's opposition claims a new analysis of crime statistics shows there has been a 193 per cent increase in the victims of physical crime since the Palaszczuk- Miles Government came to power in 2015.
The number of victims for physical crimes increased from 28,369 to 83,276 over the past nine years, the analysis found, while the data also fails to include offences such as break-ins and stolen cars.

However, analysts say Labor's hold on Brisbane, 34 of its 42 seats are held by the party, and preference boosts from Greens voters in other areas could prevent the LNP from winning a majority.
