Our Bill will:  * increase protections for victim-survivors  * better reflect the seriousness of conduct involving strangulation, by increasing aggravating penalties * reduce court delays for victims * Implement affirmative consent for strangulation offences, and more

Research shows that strangulation is the biggest red flag that violence will escalate, with victims who have been strangled by their partner are more than 7 times more likely to be killed.

DFV takes many forms, few are as dangerous, or as misunderstood, as strangulation. It's why Labor's Bill strengthen protections for victim-survivors and introduces tougher laws for perpetrators who use strangulation in their violence.

The LNP are set to block our Bill that would cap fuel increases to five cents a day, and according to the RACQ reduce fuel prices by 23 cents per litre. Make it make sense. More evidence of spin over substance.

Amanda Stoker said abortion shouldn’t be available even for women who have been raped, she said sexuality was a choice. Now David Crisafulli has appointed her the LNP’s minister responsible for LGBQTIA+ policy, the prevention of domestic and family violence, and child safety.

Weekend sports, this time volleyball with Bridie.

The person who said sexuality is a choice is now the Minister responsible for Queensland’s LGBTQIA+ policy.

Nicole Wilson called for an ambulance three times. It never arrived. I spoke to media about Nicole’s story, a direct result of the LNP’s failure to properly fund and resource the state’s healthcare system.

A few things you might not know about me, including a special coincidence with ABC FNQ presenter Charlie McKillop.

Nothing beats a morning run on the Cairns Esplanade. Thanks for the good conversations - just like you, housing, affordability, healthcare and holding this government to account are my priorities and our Labor team will continue to call out David Crisafulli’s spin.

David Crisafulli and the LNP don’t like it when you point out their spin and self-promotion. But that won’t stop me fighting for you, for affordability, housing, healthcare, workers rights, DFV prevention, child safety and whatever else David Crisafulli wants to lay his hands on.

After a busy day catching up with FNQ workers, locals and councils - got a good workout in with Gary and Felicia at Indigenous-owned Umifit

Frontline workers in Cairns have stood up with Queensland Labor today to call out David Crisafulli, Jarrod Bleijie and the LNP’s laws which will strip their rights at work.
